Freezing mash potatoes?

Thanks! My freezer is slightly packed already, but I plan on picking up real freezer bags to freeze flat and then will wrap in aluminum foil. That should protect it from any freezer burn and flavors.

Have You Ever Tried to Quit Diet Soda?

Yes, it's been 8 or 9 years for me now. I don't drink coffee and didn't back then either so that was my caffeine habit. However with stomach and sleep issues and chronic migraines I had no choice but to stop.

I had a sip of diet coke a few years ago and couldn't stand the taste of it. Now a days it's only seltzer and the occasional ginger ale for me (real stuff not the diet).

Goodbye, Dumpling

Kenji, I am so sorry for your loss. As a fellow dog parent I can't imagine your grief. Dumpling was such a loved member of your family and the SE community he will be missed and my thoughts are with you and your wife during this sad time.

SE Staff Picks: Our Favorite Food Souvenirs to 'Smuggle' Home

My husband and I managed to bring back 12 bottles of Belgian beer in our suitcases from our honeymoon a few years ago. None of them broke either! Last year, we brought back more beer, cheap wine from France and pearl sugar. You can't get that stuff here. Plus lots of chocolate.

Cook the Book: 'Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous'

my mom's latke's - she actually creates more of a batter with the potatoes instead of shredding them and I love it. I now make her recipe every year and introduced them to my husband's non-Jewish family. We eat them every Christmas morning!

The best story though, was when we spent once Chanukah in Switzerland visiting family and mom came down with a bad cold. She sent my dad out to find a brisket and to get a big bag of potatoes. Not really sure about that cut of meat he brought home from the butcher, but it was a delicious meal and a holiday I'll never forget.
