  1. You could make that sculpture of your pet, like you always wanted. Don't
    forget the varnish...

    Or you could make this chowder.

    Vadalia Onion Chowder

    Soups/Chowders

    4 slices bacon -chopped bite sized; -not crumbled
    2 tbsp olive oil; or use bacon fat
    4 vadialia onions; sliced
    2-3 cups mashed potatoes (leftovers); I used 3
    4 cloves garlic; minced
    2 boxes chicken stock (approx 30 oz)
    2 cups corn kernels (I used 2 cans)
    2 bay leaf; (optional)
    1/4 tsp dried thyme
    fresh ground black pepper; LOTS
    salt to taste
    sour cream; see note*

    Fry the bacon crisp. drain well the bacon and reserve. (Used later.)
    Heat oil in large pot. low medium to med heat.
    Make the onions bite sized, add to pot, cook till tender, about 10 min.
    Mince the garlic, add to pot, cook 1 minute or so more.
    Add broth, potatoes, corn, bay leaves, thyme. Bring the soup to a boil.
    Remove the pot from the heat. Remove the bay leaves. Season with pepper.
    Add sour cream.
    *Note add the sour cream just before serving by the tablespoon per bowl.
    This freezes better without the sour cream.
    Serve in soup bowls, and sprinkle crumbled bacon on top.
    this recipe needs more garlic than called for.
    Note: I just stirred the crumbled bacon in with the whole batch.
    Don't be shy with the garlic.
    I used some turkey Stock in with this (excellent.)
    Used 5 or 6 sweet onions
    6-7 potatoes served as mashed.
    I Didn't have vidalia onions so i used locally grown sweet onions instead.
    I added a grated carrot for colour.
    I think some brocolli florets might be nice as well

  2. I made some dumplings using leftover mashed potatos. The kids and hubby
    loved them. I kind of missed my dry biscuit texture with the doughy wet
    exterior.

    1 cup mashed potatoes
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1 large egg
    salt and pepper to taste

    Mix all together and drop into boiling soup base. Lightly boil for 20
    minutes.

    Lynne's note: my thoughts after they were cooked was they'd be good made
    with parmesan cheese and some garlic powder too.

  3. Here is a long article about potatoes from today's Food Section from
    the New York Times. Interesting, if you like potatoes.

    Vadalia Onion Chowder

    The next morning, I like to make a potato patty and fry it in a bit of
    oil and butter. Add a couple of eggs, bacon and breakfast is served.
