Cooking with Case

Loaded Baked Potato ChowderTotally not slicing this one lengthwise Slice 3 or 4 potatoes in half lengthwise and place in a microwave safe covered baking dish.
It cooks a little faster if you quarter the big ones Pour in 1/2 cup milk.
Carry carefully to the microwave. Admit you can't seem to pull your pants up straight.
Cook in microwave for 10 minutes, rotate the potatoes, then cook for another 5-10 minutes until potatoes are soft.
Grin at yourself in the glass to make the time pass quickly. Open the windows because Mom was too busy taking pictures to not burn the bacon.
The mixer attachment actually works even better, because I'm not waiting for the delivery. Use an individual hand mixer attachment to smash the potatoes lightly because you refused to spend $10 at the Pampered Chef party for a Mix 'n Chop. Add ~3 cups of milk and half a block of cream cheese and mix in. Microwave again for a couple minutes to warm it up.
Top with cheddar cheese, bacon, and broccoli if the mood suits you. Pepper substantially because you love to work the pepper grinder. Refuse to look at the camera because your handsome face is reflecting off the back door.
Demand some chocolate and a fancy straw for your milk and enjoy!

This is the follow up to that article I told you about. Controversial, but at least she's a good articulate author. I thought you might find it interesting.
Or want to throw something heavy at me. Either way, I love you guys ;)
