Well hello there! Long time no post! he he

My oldest just turned 6, this has been a hectic week to say the least. He requested an Earth cake. I made said cake. Said cake was very hard for me. It was not the most accurate Earth ever depicted, but Cpt Science (newly turned 6 year old) loved it! That was the most important thing! Instead of doing a pinata, or gift boxes or games we opted to get some real Astronaut Food. We tried a beef dinner (umm honestly the beef stew wasn't exactly dog food tasting, slightly better) and the ice cream which craziness aside tasted JUST like ice cream! (well it was ice cream just freeze dried lol) Good times!

Those Potatoes

• 6 potatoes (boiled, skinned and cubed)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups sour cream
• salt&pepper to taste

<> In a large bowl mix cooked & cubed potatoes, cheese, butter, sour cream and salt and pepper to taste. Place in greased casserole dish (I use 11X9). Optional (but it totally makes this dish!) top 2 cups crushed corn flakes & 2 TB melted butter OR 2 cups crushed plain potato chips. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until hot all the way through and top is golden.

<> You can lighten this by using light ingredients. This is straight up good ole fashion comfort food! mmmm Mmmmm MMM.
