I am making twice baked potato casserole.  (A recipe I cut in half)  Used all the good stuff fat free sour cream, and all that.

After I mixed it all together in the casserole dish all I could think was, “How in the heck are those potatoes gonna be soft enough to eat in 20 minutes?”  I cut, cubed and threw in the casserole dish.   Twenty minutes just didn’t sound right.  I kept going back to the recipe to read once again.  Sure enough, twenty minutes.

Know what it helps if you do first?

Bake.

The.

Potatoes.

Talk about a brain fart.  Mine went missing, that is for sure.

May I say you have one pretty-disgusted-with-herself-cook here right now.

I have made them before.  Looked at the recipe to make sure of the amount for each ingredient because I was cutting them in half.  Probably didn’t really need to look considering it is such an easy recipe and you can pretty much put in what you want.  You know, like a “BAKED POTATO“.

I have now turned the oven down to try to figure out what to do.  The casserole has been in the oven for 30 minutes, the potatoes, tho cubed, are still kinda, well, a lot, hard.  Cheese everywhere.  Which is probably gonna burn.

Has anyone else made a mistake like that before?  I have.

I hate it when I do something STUPID like that,   Especially to comfort food.

Oh, Eric Clapton on the radio right now might make up for it a teensy bit.

COCAINE!

The song.
