Lurker's Corner

Kroger had rib roast on sale for Christmas,which has led to a rediscovery of what prime cat torture roasting meat can be. They're taking turns prowling the apartment to find the source of the smell.

I adore mashed potatoes, but there are better nutritional choices to make with those calories unless and until you put greens in them.

It has become clear that either my family has no Irish in it (red hair be damned) or (far more likely) the women stopped cooking somewhere between Ellis Island and Texas, because we can be some serious<strike>ly lazy bitches</strike> princesses going back five generations of only daughters on my mother's side. Either that, or the Vikings on the family tree preferred the potatoes unadulterated by green shit, who even knows?

All I know is that there will be colcannon in my future lots and lots. I'm going to need a silicone potato masher for when I make my frugal, budget dinner thing in my insanely overpriced enameled cast iron cookware. Hooray immigrant success!
