Mashed Potatoes Cartoon
I asked my readers to come up with a good caption for this cartoon. There were so many good ones but I decided on this one because of its play on words. I must have thought of the idea for this cartoon around Thanksgiving when we have lots of friends and family over for a big meal with lots of mashed spuds. Someone suggested the Reluctant Gourmet is holding a whisk in his hand and that would making mashing the potatoes quite difficult but it is not a whisk but a masher.
You may also enjoy my post called What's the best recipe for mashed potatoes? and Secrets to Mashed Potatoes.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Your Thanksgiving workout begins and ends with Potatoes.
Pump-up the volume, Pump-up the volume,
5 mashes with the right, 5 mashes with the left.
Rest and repeat 'til it's ready to eat

1. Reluctant Gourmet was beginning to regret his decision to invite "extended family" to Thanksgiving dinner.
2. Next on Reluctant Gourmet's To-Do List: Search Internet for leftover mashed potato recipes.
3. Reluctant Gourmet was beginning to realize why the cookbook discouraged quadrupling the mashed potato recipe.
