Easter Potato Issue Resolved
First, thank you to everyone who shared suggestions and recipes for making
scalloped/au gratin potatoes. Even though I have no business getting
anywhere near a potato, I'll keep them all and try them on special
occasions.
After coming to the realization, mid-post yesterday, that I shouldn't even
be considering potatoes because of their effect on my blood sugar control
(or lack thereof), I came up with an ingenious plan for protecting myself
against those evil, starchy vegetables.
Brought Crash to the grocery store, took him to the fake potato aisle, and
asked him to choose what he would like best for Easter dinner. I knew I
could count on him to select something that I wouldn't touch with a
ten-foot pole. He grabbed a box of Hungry Jack Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes.
As it happens, I don't care for Hungry Jack stuff, so I won't even be
tempted to take a "little bit" of the taters.
Truth be told, I'd be happy as a clam to just have ham for dinner.
Okay, so now I'm gonna post a killer recipe that no diabetic should even
READ, much less pour over their Easter ham.
