Okay, so now I'm gonna post a killer recipe that no diabetic should
even READ, much less pour over their Easter ham.

Okay, so when in hell is Easter? I've done it in April but never this
early. Gawd... I'm inside too much watching movies. I love ham BTW.

Easter falls on March 27 this year. And it's ham at Easter for me too --
oh, wait, I won't be home for Easter as I'm flying to our Provincial Drama
Festival early that morning. Guess I'll be eating whatever is on the menu
at our hotel.

After coming to the realization, mid-post yesterday, that I shouldn't
even be considering potatoes because of their effect on my blood
sugar control (or lack thereof), I came up with an ingenious plan
for protecting myself against those evil, starchy vegetables.

Brought Crash to the grocery store, took him to the fake potato
aisle, and asked him to choose what he would like best for Easter
dinner. I knew I could count on him to select something that I
wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. [snip]

I am not one to call anyone truly evil, but that is...diabolical.

My home-made scalloped potatoes absolutely rock, and if I made them I
would have eaten some for sure. So I went to the grocery store and
bought the most revolting "au gratin" potatoes I could find. Guaranteed
that *I* won't touch them, but everyone else thinks that there is
nothing wrong with packaged stuff.

Makes it easier to keep the carbs out of my mouth when I can do that.

So we're BOTH diabolical!

Carol, glad to have an admirer

Dunno how I missed the original post, but that's a very creative
solution, Carol, not to mention coming from a perspective I heartily
endorse. These days I wouldn't make scalloped potatoes unless I were
serving them to someone else and having just a small spoonful myself.

Me, too, actually. Every now and then the hubby and I go off the low-carb
thing and pig out. I'd love to compare notes.

My scalloped potatoes are *very* basic. I'm a purist when it comes to
stuff like this. As soon as you add something like cheese or ham, it
might be very tasty, but it isn't "scalloped potatoes" any more.

Here's the recipe:

Peel and thinly slice as many potatoes as you need (I usually do 5 or
6). Thinly slice a medium onion. Assemble as follows in a deep casserole
dish (I use a CorningWare 7-cup casserole).

A layer of potatoes, a sprinkling of the onion, a teaspoon or so of
flour, several grinds of pepper, a dash of salt.

Repeat until the potatoes and onions are used up.

Dot the top of the dish with 3-4 teaspoons of butter, then pour milk
over everything until it comes to about half-way up the dish.

Cover, and bake at 325 for about an hour and a half. (Put a pie plate or
something on the rack underneath, 'cause it'll probably bubble over.)

It's done when the top is starting to look brown and a knife pokes
easily down the center. The potatoes will take up all the milk, so it
shouldn't be at all liquid-y.

I showed you mine, now you show me yours!

Is this actually possible? I couldn't conceive of having enough restraint
to limit myself to a small spoonful. The only way that would work is if
somebody hid them and gave me a small amount.

I've found it's possible -- as long as the leftovers aren't put into MY
fridge! LOL
