I Say Potato
I love potatoes. I love them cooked any way, I love any variety, I love them all. Potatoes are not just tasty; they are my favorite comfort food. Cooking dinner after dark slows me down, and makes me less ambitious. I want warm and simple meals, because what I really desire is to cozy up by the fire and go to bed unreasonably early. This time of year all I want is comfort. This time of year all I want is to eat potatoes.

I blanched some fresh spinach and then tossed it with chopped onions and garlic that had been sauteing in butter. I added a little cream and a little hard Italian cheese, let it cook down for a few minutes. Ta da! I don't usually make creamy food, but I couldn't get creamed spinach out of my mind.

That's funny. Last night for family meal at work after a busy night, we had leftover mashed potatoes and the previous nights creamed spinach. At the time it seems sparse, but then I put the two together, and....delicious! Ours was minus the sausage, but the spinach had bacon in.
