Canned and Instant Potatoes
For Ginny Lee-upstate NY: I made the Cowboy Stew last night and boy did it go over well! I've never cooked with garlic cloves, just garlic salt, so i just sprinkled some in. I used the walmart brand of diced potatoes and you can't even tell they were from a can. I've worked it in my diabetic diet and I think it will work for me. I made a big pan of cornbread to go with it. Yum!! By the time my hubby got home to eat, the stew had gotten cold and wasn't as juicy as it started out to be. I didn't think to tell him to pour a little of the tomato juice in his bowl and heat it up, but i did that today and that worked. I will be making it again. Soon.

For those that make potato salad using instant potatoes: In the late 60's in high school, we had it made from mashed potatoes and it was good. I don't know if they used instant potatoes since back then they actually cooked from scratch. Twenty years ago I was making Thanksgiving dinner and my Mother was coming for the first time ever. (she didn't raise me). The night before I made the potato salad out of instant potatoes. It turned out good. But the next day when I took it out to put on the food table, it was a watery mess!! Great first impression. Fortunately, everything else turned out good. Except the turkey. I'll save that story for another day. I had just gotten out of the hospital the day befor TG and still did all that cooking. I never did know why my potato salad got watery, but I never made it with instant potatoes again. I might of put it, covered, in the frig while it was still hot. Now, I always put the salad uncovered in the frig and cover it after it's cold. I don't make it very often since I can't eat it.

Nancy, I, too, love hearing about the cats.
You all have a great and blessed day!
