Potato Buds

Is it seen as totally absurd that I love Potato Buds? I can suck down some instant mashed. What’s wrong with me?

Another pleasure: Root Beer.

    What are potato buds? Kids these days with their moon rocks and music.

    When I was first preggers, I could have probably eaten those instant mashed potatoes they have at KFC for all of my meals. In fact, my favorite meal was from the combo KFC/Taco Bell we have near us. I would get the mashed potatoes with gravy and a bean burrito from Taco Bell. They must have thought I was insane. It is disgusting to think about now but I probably ate that at least twice a week if not more.

    Lana, they are these little potato flakes. I guess at one time they were real, but in the box they are dried and flaky; almost like fish food. And you heat up some water, milk (or in my case, soymilk) some margarine or butter, and some salt. After it all comes to a boil you add in the potato buds and voila! Instant Mashed.

    I have a very horrifying story involving me, Potato Buds, college, tiny bugs, screaming, and my friend, Erin. Let’s just say, mind the expiration date on those. I didn’t know they even had an expiration date until it was too late.

    Ah… I come from the idaho of canada and have never tried boxed ‘taters. Maybe I’ll have to try … as soon as I get the idea that it’s fish food out of my head…

  7. mihow Says:

    Yes, I am sorry for that analogy. It so doesn’t take like fish food. Promise.

    Please note: Today I upped my lunchtime ration to 3/4 servings.

    I bet you used Dijon too!

    Well, considering I’m a big pig and I worked out really, really hard this morning, I not only had 4 servings of extraordinarily healthy Potato Buds, but I had a veggie burger as well. And on that veggie burger was indeed some Dijon Tard.
