I Needed Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

 September 5, 2021

Yesterday I needed mashed potatoes and gravy.   So much was going on and it was making me feel crazy.  I don't understand people anymore, I just don't.  I don't have to watch the news to get a gist of this wacky country we're living in.  Why are people taking women's rights away in Texas?  How can a supreme court have rights to a woman's body?  

There is a big apple festival going on downtown and what I saw, so many are not wearing masks.  Why? 

A few other things happened that left me shaking my head that I won't go into.





I needed mashed potatoes and gravy. Mashed potatoes are one of my main comfort foods and I needed some comfort.  So I cooked a delicious  chuck roast in my Instant Pot and while that was going on I peeled four potatoes and had them simmering on the stove.  Hubby made some Cole slaw and dinner was delicious! I feel better and we have leftovers.

MMM...mashed potatoes.
I wonder if it was the original comfort food. 😉
I have my own list of foods that I tend to turn too.
And boy have they been calling my name.
People these days just make me want to scream into a pillow,
or out loud. Either works.

Ellie, what is your list of foods you turn to or do you want to write a blog about it?

Yes on the screaming, eating and I do a lot of tapping.
