I was walking with Notboyfriend the other day and we were talking about John Mulaney and Tumblr.

Quote from Notboyfriend:

“If you and Chloe (@threecirclingbuzzards ) both like something then that is one of tumblrs favourite things”

Apparently we dictate the likes and dislikes of the entirety of Tumblr

But its not sad

I wanna call him...

But what for ... ?

Its been done.... we just keep holding on killing each other . Maybe wed live more and better off we just let go

But then what?

Some relationships truly lose the value as time goes on.

COLESTEROL

Eres el reflejo más puro de todo lo que mis perspectivas distorcionadas creen que es bueno para mi.

Te veo tan perfecto que me es imposible plantearme la idea de que, como todos, eres un ser con defectos.

Y es verdad que aquello que un día me atrajo hacia ti, es lo mismo que hoy nos separa.

¿Cómo le explico a mi corazón que eres su colesterol?

Estás pero no, me quieres y no, esto es una mierda, good shit.

Detrás de todo esto se esconde mi miedo de dejarte ir, tengo terror en confiar en alguien nuevo.

Si nunca anduvimos, ¿por qué tengo miedo de perderte?

Quizá representas la conformidad, el constante inconstante del amor que me falta, mi peor es nada.

Nonsensical Rhetoric About Potatoes

I love and adore my not-boyfriend. He is wonderful. He has a huge issue with commitment, but I love him none the less. 

That said, he’s on a sailing adventure so I have free reign of the kitchen. I mean, come on. He’s out sailing the seas so he isn’t here to take over (something he’s very guilty of doing). In his absence, I get to make whatever I want.  

I’m a fan of what I can do when there is no one here to give me guff. The funniest part of that is my not-boyfriend actually does like my cooking. He has a hard time admitting it, but he does like it. One of our favorite things to do is make meals together. That’s love.

Anyway, he admits I make the best mashed potatoes. I really do. 

Growing up I absolutely hated them. 

HATED.

I think it was all the boxed taters from neighboring moms (my mom never made them) to local fast food restaurants in the North Dallas area. They were just gross. I would not eat them. 

(Right now, I am remembering the nasty taste.)

It wasn’t until I was making a Thanksgiving feast for some of my friends a few years ago that I discovered how good mashed potatoes can be. And they really are quite delicious.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Mashed potatoes. Big deal. But, it really is! I missed out on years of greatness because I was fed grossness. 

Enough with history. Here is how I make them. 

First is choosing the right potato. Most people just go for your standard Russet. But not me. No. I use Yukon Gold. 

Now, I know Russets are good. And they make for a great baked potato. Or French fries. But, the Yukons are gold when making mashed potatoes. 

First of all, they are creamier and easier to work with while preparing the dish. For example...you don’t have to peel them. 

So...Yukon Gold equals simple, yummy goodness.

That’s all.

You didn’t think I would actually give out my secret recipe, did you? HA!

Ok. Ok. Ok. Here’s my two cents...

Add your preferred accoutrement. You know, butter, sour cream, cheese (VERY IMPORTANT). The type of cheese is really up to you. I mix it up.

Oh, and a super secret ingredient is...

Basil.

Chop it up and go to town!

Seriously, it is delish. 

I have to go make some taters now.

*Side note: I don’t peel Russets either. A lot people do. But I like the nutritional value. So, I’m keeping the skins on.
