and I just have to share, because me throwing something together in the kitchen and having it come out fabulous happens about once a decade. No, really.

I boiled two large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced small, with half a yellow onion, also diced small, in enough organic prepared vegetable broth to cover (one of those paper cartons' worth in a large saucepan). Once I got the boil going, I added a generous teaspoon or two of freeze-dried dill, maybe a teaspoon of freeze-dried minced garlic, about a half-teaspoon (maybe a whole? dunno) of dried ground mustard, and simmered it all for a half hour, until the potatoes were fork-tender. Smelled heavenly. Stirred in a tablespoon or two of butter (the real stuff), and blended with a stick blender until about half of it was smooth and the rest still chunky. Stirred to blend the chunks in with the now-thick-and-creamy part, and served hot. Oh. my. gosh. it was yummy. Like a buttered baked potato. Would have served two, probably, with a meal, but I polished it off myself, only letting Garrick have a couple of bites.
