Today, I am thankful for mashed potatoes. Yesterday, at the Fishnet Thanksgiving, I remembered and told about one year at Thanksgiving (possibly 2006), when we were "forced" to go around the table and say what we were thankful for, and my Aunt Lisa and I said we were thankful for mashed potatoes. I am pretty sure we were the 2 who were thankful for it. And I think my cousin Billy said he was thankful for the Orange Salad (which I am also thankful for, and wish I could have-hopefully this summer, I will make some, just so I can have some!). Anyway. We said it so we didn't have to say anything serious (why do we actually avoid saying things we are thankful for?) and because we just wanted to eat.
Well today I can tell you it's not just because I want to eat. I've eaten plenty today-and over the past 2 weeks. But there is something special about mashed potatoes. Or even just potatoes in general. They are wonderful, and I am thankful for them :-)
