Next I've got "Bag O Spuds" to get through. 101 Ways with 2Kg of spuds and a small microwave. Cheesy mash has already been done about 10x. But I guess I'll end up buying another block of cheese and finishing the bag off by having cheesy mash another 10x.

Do you have a small oven dish? I like Pomme boulangere.

I also really like that thing i first read about on old style called stovies, but opnly if made with corned beef. I could eat that for a week. .

Latkes? ChAmp, colcannon? Then using mash above fish for fish pie, or with fish for fish cakes. Shepards pie, sheperdess pie.....

Potatoes are versatile!

I'm not sure how relevant an oven dish is ... I don't have an oven.


That's the thing.... bought a bag of 2.5Kg of spuds, they have to be eaten (before they grow). I'll be moving in 2-3 weeks.... and I only have a microwave.

... and, new thing.... the heating seems to have not gone on.... which tends to mean 'broken'. Bummer.

:rotfl: sorry, i thought you were back at olds and presumed the old oven would be there.

Come to think of it, though i have never tried it is probaby possible to stuff like boulangere and dauphinoise in the microwave. One of these people with one must have tried?

I am there... but there was no oven. Oven was dangerous/leaning and old couldn't use it anyway... so, as it was dangerous, I had it ripped out, never intending to replace it, late last year.

It all sounds like "buying more food", which I am loathe to do as I am trying to eat up what's here, not buy new stuff in.

I have a somewhat spurious claim to fame today. I have sat in the same seat on the plane as the Olympic flame. Though sadly, not at the same time.

We also now have beach volleyball seats and are hoping to get a few others lined up before the games commence. I am excited about the games coming to town, even if no-one else is.
