"I love potato soup. I also have mashed potatoes in the fridge frequently. When I mash my potatoes I always add butter and sour cream. They are delicious that way. When I made my potato soup I decided to use them instead of new potatoes. It was so good so now I always make my potato soup this way."

I am a retired nurse. My husband and I live on an island in Florida and also have a house in Mississippi. We are active traders in the stockmarket. We also have a beautiful new RV and love seeing the good ole USA. Wish we had more time to travel but stay busier now that we are retired than we did when we worked. I love to cook and experiment with recipes. My husband loves to taste and recommend little changes. Life is good.
