Mashed potatoes make everything better

I haven't really been posting much lately because I've been stressed and depressed. Mainly from the lack of finding a job. The other part from being stuck in the house all day. I don't really have anywhere to drive to since most places you have to apply online now and it's just  waste of gas to go drive around for no reason.
BF has been great and has been trying to help me feel better.
Today I forgot to make BF's lunch for him so he had to go buy lunch and there wasn't really anything for me to eat at the house except tuna, which I had  yesterday because of Ash Wednesday, so BF suggested I get KFC because I love their mashed potatoes and he hates KFC. So I went to KFC and the mashed potatoes and gravy made me feel better (for at least a little while). I love mashed potatoes and gravy. They are my ultimate comfort food.

In other news, my first book of poetry is being released next month.

Okay, so there really wasn't a point to this post except for mashed potatoes and poetry, but oh well.

    I love mashed potatoes.

    Congrats on the poetry book tho! That's really exciting!  I know being unemployed SUCKS!! I graduated and ended up almost 6 months without work.  I HATED it.  But it gets better. Hang in there - and post more! We're here for entertainment:)

    Growing up my moms idea of comfort food was a big helping of mashed potatoes with corn covered in butter, salt and pepper. To this day I find myself craving it whenever things get a little too much for me to handle.

    I hope things start looking up for you soon, I know how much depression sucks. :-(

    I completely agree! Mashed potatoes do make everything better. Well mashed potatoes with gravy. I'm not into the whole loaded mashed thing. I like the basics.

    Good luck on the job search!

    Congrats on the poetry!

    I'm not a fan of mashed potatoes. My feel-better food was always Kraft Mac & Cheese. Preferably the shapes kind, like Sponge Bob...the shapes kinds are always tastier for some reason.

    I personally love garlic cheesy mashed potatoes.  That always makes my day better.  KFC has some darn good biscuits though!

    I don't know about the honey mustard or the cheese, but those mashed potatoes were delicious. I think we need a mashed potatoes button. We have a cheese one, why not one for mashed potatoes since I can't have cheese!?

    I checked again it still looks like taters to me. One of us needs new eye gear.

    Who will be the tie breaker?

    It's a mashed BRAIN button. Surprised



    Yeah, the mom then wrote on it in ketchup. No one knew it was meatloaf and everyone thought it was normal cake. They were not pleased. 'Course they were here in SA, so I could do that and be klassy!

    Grats on the book publishing! That is something i do have on my to do list as well ! As for mashed potatoes i love making my own. i only use red skin potatoes and leave the skins on - and boil them until tender. Add some butter ( no marganine spread junk) , some 2% milk and whip them up with some salt and pepper to season and done. i have had to invent new side dishes for FI because if i let him he would eat only that!

    OOOOO Mashed Taters!! I like KFC and Popeye's but the ultimate mashed potato is Outback's garlic mashed potatoes...I think I could have just have their mashed potatoes for dinner and be completely satisfied with my meal.

    As for mac and cheese- One of my best friends gave me like, 6 boxes of spongebob mac n cheese for my birthday one year...Best. Present. EVER. I think character food always taste better, I used to get spongebob or Hello Kitty poptarts and they were WAY better than normal strawberry one even though they were basically the exact same. Now I can only find Barbie poptarts that just have a face screened on them...Those suck.
