Yep, apparently he's only ever made potato-flake style when working jobs as a teenager at a senior care facility.

ah, potato-flake...yeah, we have had that around here a lot.

I much prefer hand done tatoes, but sometimes we are tired or time is an issue. I do my best to spiff up the taste with seasonings at least lol. But no matter what, box potatoes always taste a bit like paste to me.

but even those takes a modicum of preparation (which some call cooking) ...

The recipe he describes uses steaming hot water - that's the extent of the cooking he did there.

WTF?

I forget sometimes that having used cooking as a hobby and stress relief for thirty-odd years means I know a bit more about cooking than the normal guy - but, even so, WTF?

Wow...that's an instant classic.

Yep, it was so good I had to share!

This is one of those moments that truly explores the concept of intelligence. My husband is NOT dumb, he's just highly specialized. If you asked me to fix a jet's communication or targeting computers, describe in detail how satelite GPS works or the dynamics of how the applied physics of torque and gravity affect metal - you'd think I was a moron. But he can do it.

Me, I can make mashed potatoes. :D

That's great too.
Since I'm of his skill set, AND can make potatoes.
I love you.
And, I'd love him if I knew him.

Day made!
Thank you so much.
OMG.
I am thankful today, for having XX chromosomes...
