Nothing exciting, I had a frozen dinner that was okay, Shrek had a peanut butter and honey sandwich with home made tapioca pudding.

Love tapioca pudding. Will have to try some in the CP.

Thanks Cat. Your steak dinner sounded lovely!
I thought we had more potatoes, I looked in the bag, we had two.....It was enough for me to split the dish, but DH was still hungry. So he had some cheese and crackers as well.

Yum! Is there any better combination than potatoes, onion, cream and butter?
(Actually, thinking about it, and I think Pac may agree with me here, the only thing that would add to that wonderful dish - is some bacon!)
Thanks Katy! No bacon
I made it to take to a pot luck at work today, I saved some out for Shrek, it's a favorite. Most of those eating it today had never had home made, from scratch, tapioca. It is now on request for the next pot luck.

They're a red thin skinned potato, unlike a thicker skinned Russet. Pretty generic here, they could be anything. Often, little new potatoes are redskins. What's nice is that they don't need to be peeled before cooking.
Costco sells a nice bag of fingerlings in all different colors, some redskins, some purple. Will have to put them on the Costco list!

Recipe please?
I am interested in this recipe too, though in my case, it is just to see if the revolting tapioca pudding I endured as a child, was because of a bad recipe, a bad cook, or I just hate tapioca!

Katy, I really don't know what kind of "redskin" potatoes I have, sometimes there is a name at the grocery store other times not. I was using the term "generically". We like all kinds of potatoes! I will look for Desiree.

I like all kinds of potato too! (It's the Irish ancestry I guess)
Though most of my Irish family prefer the white "floury" potatoes - good for stews and mash.

Well sometimes we go out, but I've gotten to the point where I like my own cooking a lot better that what passes for restaurant food these days. I can cook a half-week worth of meals at home for the same cost of the dinner for two out. I do make exceptions for Broasted Chicken from the restaurant in the town next door. Carry-out, of course.
And I also have no life. Alas, I'm also slow as molasses so there was no pie tonight. Too bad too, since Himself said he could swear he smelled a pie baking while he was cutting part of the yard. He made himself feel better by saying someone might have been toasting an apple pop-tart.

Congrats to Mrs. K! Does this mean YOU get to quit?
I made another batch of chop suey tonight. I've got 3 2 serving containers. Plenty of meals for later. 2 containers for the freezer and 1 for the fridge.
Hope you feel better soon, Taxy!

Z, I first read that as "32 containers".
And my first thought was "How MUCH does she like that???" 
I thought she was just making a big batch for the freezer. I didn't even notice that it wasn't 32.Z, I first read that as "32 containers".
I don't think I've ever seen a name attached to the redskins found around here. Just redskin.
They are a creamier potato than russets or white potatoes and hold up better in cold potato salads.

I made a little potato bowl on my plate for the creamed chicken.
Yay. Only two tries to upload the pic tonight
Reminds me of chicken a la king, which we may be having this weekend, as I just bought a whole chicken yesterday.
