"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
A few years ago, in an effort to regain my former slim self, I began eating few carbohydrates. How I missed them. I even dreamed about eating them. And mashed potatoes were my favorite. Yet my resolve prevailed and I was having some success. Traveling to the meetings of the now defunct Commission on Religion in Appalachia (CORA) always meant a trip south. And as a CORA Commissioner for ELCMA, Monroe would be at these meetings. Dinners were particularly difficult for me because there were few good options. Monroe, the ever helpful man, even offered to share his favorites with me. They too, were poor choices, and often of the potato variety. That devilish man! So it is fitting that he would offer a mashed potato recipe.
