VERY, VERY OT Potatoes!!!
I have tried to write it out understandably without making it and
failed. I need to double check my quantities. So I will make it today and have DH write it down as I go. His response to the task: "Oh dear. I have to watch and write down the recipe. What a tragedy." *drool* "Will you make it with fried onions underneath?" *begging puppy eyes* NightMist On Tue, 4 Mar 2008 14:32:05 -0600, "SewVeryCreative" wrote: No fair mentioning something like that and not offering a recipe, NightMist!!

*beggy puppy dog eyes*
You know ... I would be MORE than happy to write down the recipe. Tell your hubby he's being a bit of a stinker ... tasting is MORE than worth writing!!!! Any way you look at it, he's getting the best part of the deal!!!

So do I, Lois. To make it even more 'gourmet' I quickly stir fry the sliced
franks with chopped onions. PAT, gourmet cook in Virginian "Lois Hansen" wrote in message news:2008032320075943658-lobo119@gmailcom... I always put cut up hot dogs in mac & cheese.
