Nothing at all wrong with good food.  It's only eating too much that is a problem.  Eating well is the reward for diligence in the kitchen.

Or having a slow cooker.  I like to cook, and try new things, but I have children so I can't try anything too exotic, unless I want to eat it for a week later.
We had roast beef, mashed potatoes (real ones) and lima beans for dinner.  I was creative last night and wanted something with no complaints.

Yeah, I love discussing food, and picking up tips and tricks, etc. (per Ryos).

Ah I have an idea for a new poll!

Shaggy unless you have a palate well above the norm you can't tell the difference in taste they are potatoes that you rehydrate...the difference is in texture there are zero lumps...i think it is too smooth but it is a cheap staple for when you are on your own...

Shaggy learn to read better not just skim....I said when you are on your own they are a cheap staple, meaning that when you are no longer with mommy and daddy you need to eat a starch and they are not costly so they are a good thing to buy...

Hmm, I haven't actually priced them but I would have guessed that real potatoes are cheaper than instant mashed.  Instant mashed certainly have the convenience advantage, though - as well as a much longer shelf life.

It stands to reason that raw potatoes would be cheaper than highly processed potatoes. Food prices don't always hold to logic, however.
