I have a potato side dish that I like to use.

Take a two pound bag of frozen potatoes O'Brien, a 16oz sour cream, a can of cream of mushroom soup, a melted stick of butter, maybe some finely diced onion (the potatoes sort of cover that part so optional), and some cheddar cheese.

Dump the bag into a 9x13 pan.

Mix the sour cream, soup, and butter and dump over frozen potatoes.

Cook at like 375 for about 45 minutes.

Take out and cover the top with grated cheddar

Put back in the over for another 10 minutes or so, enough to melt all the cheese.

Done.

It goes over well and presents a nice fall-like orange surface, but it is lacking in the healthy department

Squash soup is very fall.

Squash soup = yummy.

But the parsnips and carrots sound yummy too.

sarameg, spelling? of what?

HMOG, Gud, that sounds delish!

How about roasted butternut squash? Possibly stuffed? I've heard it's mostly butternut in the cans of "pumpkin" anyway, so people should like it....

HMOG, Gud, that sounds delish!

You know it's fine cooking when the recipe includes the words "dump the bag".

Devi. Of course.

This shouldn't make me laugh, but it is so baltimore:

"Planted in gratitude for the dedicated service of the court clerks of the circuit court for Baltimore City," reads the plaque that has survived a tree only Charlie Brown could love.

"At least his tree had needles on it," said Assistant City Solicitor Robert D. Anbinder. He, too, is among the tide of people who walk past the once-healthy cherry tree. "I can tell you what kind of tree it is now. It's a dead one."

You had me at "stick of butter" truth be told.

"Dump the bag" AND a pint of sour cream!

Almost as good as the buffalo chicken DIP I came across recently -- two of my favorite things all in one, AND with two packages of cream cheese to boot!

Why is my boss back in the office, and does she think we're having our 3:30 meeting?

Is the recipe my friend uses to make her delicious H'ween treat -- Man Toes.
