I love food. I love to eat. I eat when I am happy. I eat when I'm sad, homesick, bored, stressed, or depressed. I love to get together with people and go out to eat. I love food--that is probably why I need to lose 20 pounds. One of the comfort foods that I seem to be eating a lot of since I arrived in Mexico is potatoes. Good old white, full of carbohydrates, potatoes. I like mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, baked potatoes, roasted potatoes, funeral potatoes, potato salad, potato wedges, french fries, tator tots, and hash browns. You name it, it doesnt matter, I will probably eat it if it is made with potatoes. In this far away country it reminds me of home--potatoes still taste the same, no matter where they are grown! The only problem is the aforementioned--they are full of carbohydrates--and not the good kind. I have tried sweet potatoes, but I do not like them with butter, brown sugar, or melty marshmallows. I only like them salty. So does anyone out there have any good salty, sweet potato recipes. For the sake of my love handles, please share!

Hi Lizzy, I miss you! As for your potato addiction I have roasted "white" sweet potatoes along side regular potatoes with the Lipton onion soup mix and they came out great. My family didn't notice until I pointed it out. I wonder how they would tast as hash browns...
Best of luck and be glad it's not 50 pounds you need to loose! YOur long, lost, large Friend, Ellen
I can absolutely relate to so much of your blog right now! Things here are so expensive and I have no A/C. Our phones and internet don't work very well and I found a lizard in my closet the other day! I cannot believe they don't have A/C at school for your kids and they have to wear pants!! that is crazy! I get frustrated sometimes when I am stuck at home with no A/C and Jim is in class wearing pants because it's chilly. Not fair!! We also have no bathtub and Hunter climbs in and out of the shower like 50 times during one shower. Perhaps I need to find a tub like you found. Well good luck and I look forward to reading more!
I love food too! My life revolves around eating. No event can be fun without it. I admit it-I'm a social eater. Thank goodness I don't have to go to rehab for my problem! And if I don't get to eat when, where, and what I expected, I get grumpy!! This makes Ryan laugh. I do remember you eating a lot of baked potatoes with lots of Ranch on them from the Creamery our Freshman year. :) Go food!
Love the potatoes too! Except my kids do not want to eat baked potatoes! They will eat everyother kind but just not those. I do not think they came from Adam, because he loves those kind most!!!
