spudly speaking of course

When Reeni asked me to host the upcoming BSI (blogger secret ingredient) naturally I was flattered as all get out but I had to play it cool and aloof so as not to come off over excited. Well since no one really saw me 'playing it cool' it looks like the cool was spent only on me and naturally the over excitement has passed so now its time to get down to the business at hand and that is picking an ingredient. I am in wonderful company and the previous ingredients were nothing less than excellent, I wish I could get the easy way out and duplicate one but I wont. Did you check out the blueberry extravaganza? All the links are here so go and see and a big CONGRATULATIONS to Katherine at Smoky Mountan Cafe - she walks away with the blueberry bragging rights!



Can you believe, to my amazement, that no one has picked one of the most well liked ingredients this world has to offer.




Here is the little problem: I will be flying (the whole fam damily) from New York City to Anchorage, Alaska at 8:00 am Sunday morning - I would like to wrap this particular BSI up on Saturday if it is at all possible...normally the secret ingredient is announced on Monday so I am giving a head start as well.




I made a little gratin of some eastern potatoes (skin on - I like it rustic) and sliced onion with shrimp. The beauty of the potato is its versatility - the sky is the limit. Good luck and have fun with Potatoes.
