impySelf, you are tired. It's why you have left your To Do list for tomorrow. GO TO BED. Um... anyway. Before we get to that, I made dinner yesterday. Specifically this Bacon & Potato Chowder. It was... different. You know how you're all excited about making something and you buy the ingredients for it and you are sure this is going to be the Best Thing Ever? And then you start to make it and you're still sure it'll be yummy, even if it's not the Best Thing Ever, and by the time it's ready to eat you've downgraded it to "Oh god, what have I done?!" so there's no way you're actually going to be able to properly taste it. Yeah. I had that problem.
Thing is, it's pretty yummy. But it tastes a lot like Ham & Cheese casserole, which is probably my favorite meal ever. It's the meal you keep eating long after you're full because ohmygod, no one ever makes it and you must hoard all the nums because no one else is allowed to have it! (Wait, that's just me? Oh, okay.) The chowder is sort of like the casserole and cream of potato soup had a lovechild. They say it's yummier the next day, and this is certainly true of the casserole, but I'm worried since the soup is pretty much foul after the first heating.
And obviously since this is a slow cooker recipe, it made enough to feed an army. The other problem was that the potatoes you add to the mix didn't fully cook. But it wasn't like it was just the larger ones I didn't manage to slice down. Noooo, many of those were fine. It was the smaller ones, too. So you'd take your third bite and pray (if you were me) "No onions, no non-canned potatoes!" and one should not require that much prayer for dinner. I obviously do not have the touch when it comes to potatoes in the crock pot. Woe.
And to end on a happier note:
She looks damn cute. I should've just said the hell with McKenna's stuff because this is so damn cute.
