Love that garlic! Excellent recipe. I used Madiera wine instead of white, did the garlic in the AM.so I just had to do the finishing touches when I mashed the potatoes. Cut back a bit by using 2% milk instead of cream (I know cream is wonderful). It turned out great - served with Whole Crockpot Chicken, steamed green beans and small whole onions cooked for the last hour with the chicken. The garlic mash just set the meal off and was enjoyed by all. Thanks CountryLady -

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
