I guess it's time to stop shoveling the driveway and also time to quit making mashed potatoes.
If they're going to complain about it, maybe they need to do it themselves?
If you really like mashed potatoes and dont want to do them the old fashioned way anymore.
This brand of potatoes is pretty tasty. My dad buys them because he'd rather spend more time on the main course when he's cooking. (my mom cant cook, and I'm still learning) I like the garlic mashed that they make, but recently discovered the sour cream flavor (never was a sour cream eater until just recently.)
You might spend a little more if you dont get them on sale or with a coupon, but it saves time and the
even-more-important energy. I'm all about saving energy. (my dad has a heart condition and we both now understand that fatigue sucks and anything that keeps us from becoming exhausted is better than doing it the hard way)
Now I'm hungry for mashed potatoes.
