this week's 5'er

Let's play!!!

This weeks theme is...potatoes. I don't know why...I am just thinking about them.

1.  When was the last time you had mashed potatoes?  Were they regular mashed potatoes or some kind of fancy version?

Geez...I think it was the day before Thanksgiving, at Home Fry's Turkey Day party at school.  It was regular mashed tatos, but the ones made from scratch...mmmm.  I probably ate them since, but the turkey day ones were memorable--there weren't any left.

2.  Do you grow your own veggies? Have a garden? If so are potatoes one of the things you grow?

Nope--no real place to grow them...and if I did, they would probably die...lol.

3. French fried potatoes...do you like natural cut fries, with skin still on or the McDonald's kind? 

Mickey D's, here we come!  Or Burger King fries, dipped in BBQ sauce...yummy.  I hate the skins.

4.  How about potato salad?  Do you like it? Have a family recipe you have used for  years?

I like potato salad, but only eat it on holidays.  You know, Easter, July 4th, the ones where Joey's mom makes it.  I haven't made it myself in years.  When I do make it, I guess you can say I make it the way my mom used to, with loads of onions.

5.  Did you have a Mr. Potato head as a kid?  Ever purchased one for someone else's kid?

I think I had one--I can't remember.  I never bought one for anyone, but my m-i-l bought one for each of my kids.

til next time...=)
