mashed potatoes....

ok, so......my dream life got a tad curiouser last evening, when monday night's dream of mashed potatoes decided to replay into tuesday nights dream about buying silverware in a department store.....the mashed potatoes i was making were not from scratch,,,,,and there was an authority figure in the background who was directing the mixing of the dehydrated potato granules with the milk and margarine.....and this faceless person insisted that there needed to be more milk...which made the mixture too runny, at which point i would have to add more potato granules.....during last night's potato reprise, the faceless figure directed me to go into the silverware store immediately, because the ralph lauren patterns had been deeply discounted.....gentle readers, i have no idea if ralphie makes silverware, and no notion of what preppy silverware would be distinguished from the rest of the stock.......having never shopped for silverware......my mother gave me our silver(plate) as a wedding gift...and the everyday came through the savings of betty crocker boxtops.....it is serviceable as silverware goes....no clue why i would dream about selecting more....... and sadly, at no time during these mashed potato dreams did i ever get to taste-test while i cooked....
