When I was young eating mashed potatoes was a common side. Maybe three times a week. Just a poor peoples food.
I started making mashed potatoes in an other way. I had one of those junky plastic mashers from Kroger. So after about twenty years I got a nice Kitchen Aid masher from Publix. Heavy and cool looking I loved it.
But when I finally got the cooking done pat I seen on Public Televison people talking about and using a ricer. So I had to get one. They are readily available on the Internet through Amazon and a lot of other vendors.
You just peal and boil your potatoes like you always would and then strain them. With a slotted spoon put them into the ricer and squeeze them through. You get the most wonderful evenly mashed potatoes. Add milk, butter and seasoning. You will have the best mashed potatoes.
Put them into the same pot you boiled them in and heat on low. You make what you want now and have some great leftovers.

What About The People That Were Actually Born In The United States?
On the news we are constantly pounded with issues concerning immigrants and refuges. What about the people that were actually born in the USA?
The last President I can recall thinking of natural born tax paying Americans was George W. Bush. I remember getting at least two $600 checks from the Federal Government for economic stimulus. In the last eight years I have received nothing. Except rising insurance costs. Rising food costs. Higher co pays on medical insurance. Higher rent costs. My rent has almost doubled in 13 years for the same apartment.
But the present administration has bent over backwards to accommodate immigrants and refuges. Providing them with housing, food, medical, transportation, cell phones, employment and everything else. Good time to be a refugee.
The other part of the population has been stuck with paying taxes and got stuck with pay the higher prices to pay for everything else.
So why is the country so much in debt. What are they spending the money on?
