I have a number of folks that weren't able to access the blog when it went private as Blogger restricted me to 100 readers, but still wanted the recipes, so for those of them that were clever and found my email through my author's blog and requested them, I would send them out periodically. I still do.
I almost always get a response of some sort, a confirmation, a "sounds good", or a "we made this -thumbs up."
But my last recipe was the sound of crickets.
When I looked "sent mail" I figured out why, (don't drink and spell)
Partner looked at it laughed and said: "well they spit you know!"
And they're ugly ... and they smell bad ... and they're lumpy. Your potatoes, not so much. :)
ReplyDeleteI will actually send your daughter the real recipe for "caramelized potatoes" (which can be cooked ahead, cooled and peeled, ready to go into the sauce when you make it fresh. It is a dish I had in Iceland and it's very easy and incredibly good.
DeleteSpitty potatoes...ya, no, I will pass too. :)
ReplyDeleteWe recently went computerized at work, and for the first 2 months, we could dictate (a wonderful option) until IT shut it down due to HIPPA concerns...wasn't doing it in public, or with other folks around, duh! I am a professional, but I talk much faster than I can type, and I type at a pretty good clip...anyhoo...I made it a habit to always proofread my dictation, as well as my typing. Helps to avoid some very funny sentences that make no sense until sounded out.
Spitty potatoes, I about snorted white wine with that comment. I got lucky today, my secretary (formal title but I call him management assistant) returned from Army Guard deployment and helped me get caught up. I don't know what I'd do without him, mid 20's incredibly computer savvy and smart as can be. I know he'll get promoted before long but I'm enjoying the help.
DeleteSpeaking of ditation - I worked as a secretary during college, for an insurance company. It was all dictated. I typed one long policy for a aerial photographer with the phrase "loss of limbs" about a dozen times (wondering just how bad their pilot was) only to find out it was "Loss of LENS".
