How many days post-date are you willing to give it? Not that I drink a lot of milk, but if it smells ok, sure.

You still need to eat dinner, but want to have time to paint/hobby before bedtime. Do you still take the time to cook a decent dinner, or throw something in the microwave? Or go with delivery? I'd generally stop on the way and grab something or hit a drivethru, unless I knew there were very tasty leftovers. But I expect I'll then be too tired to paint. 12 hours ago, ManvsMini said: Question for March 17th: Happy St. Patrick's Day! What's your favorite way(s) to enjoy the famed staple of the Irish diet, the potato? Yes. Really, a toss up between poutine, fries in gravy, straight cut crispy fries, baked potatoes, potato skins, garlic mashed, scalloped potatoes, seasoned wedges, perogies, oven roasted, pan fried, hash, potato chips, and anything else I've forgotten. About the only ones I'm not big on are soggy crinkle cut fries (but I'll still eat them) and anything seasoned with dill (real or artificial) (which I won't eat, but that has EVERYTHING to do with the dill, not the poor ruined potato. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your favorite way(s) to enjoy the famed staple of the Irish diet, the potato? Hands down mashed is my favorite. Unfortunately, we only eat mashed potatoes at holidays. My wife has been watching calories for a couple of years now (and it's working, she's down over 80 pounds during that time) and adding all the tasty stuff to make good mashed potatoes really ramps up the calories versus just popping some fingerlings in the oven with a bit of salt and pepper. In solidarity I'm no longer mashing potatoes, but man do I sure miss them. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your favorite way(s) to enjoy the famed staple of the Irish diet, the potato? French fries are great, but I prefer mine barrel-shaped (tater tots) or in those tater tot-esque triangles that school lunches used to serve. Oh, those were delicious. As for poutine, never had it, but to quote Ed O'Neill from "Modern Family", I'm not poutine that in my mouth... not until I know what cheese curd by itself tastes like. Mashed potatoes (no lumps!) can never be passed up. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mashed, gratin, baked, cooked, fries, rösti, chips...all of them. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three other options, that, for me, are all more likely than those presented in the question. Nobody has posted my option #3 yet. And no one ever did....

(1) Make something cold, like PB&J and crisps? (2) Grab fast food or takeout on the way home? (3) Eat nothing, put the fasting back into breakfast... 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably just get some takeout on the way home. If I start cooking, I'll get distracted and then I'll never get round to painting. 17 hours ago, ManvsMini said: Question for March 17th: Happy St. Patrick's Day! What's your favorite way(s) to enjoy the famed staple of the Irish diet, the potato? Any of the ways, but chunky chips( or 'fries' to those across the Atlantic) covered with lashings of salt and vinegar is my favourite. Preferably from a proper Chip Shop, but homemade is good as well. A happy St Patrick's Day to one and all! 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think they're delicious- I haven't had any since I went to the Dark Side at 12. To be honest, I thought any questions would have been about the black and white puddings 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
