Just can’t bear to look at it anymore.  The goats are gone, we are bummed.  They got out somehow, we don’t know how.  =(

Jenny’s Scalloped Potatoes

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Another cheesy, ooey gooey recipe from my kitchen to yours.  This is a favorite of ours once every couple weeks.  Real good with Yukon Gold Potatoes, but any kind works.  For this recipe because I was in a hurry, I microwaved the potatoes for a minute or so to cook half way so that the time in the oven isn’t as long.  Don’t overcook them if you do this, or you will have mush.  I also left the skins on this time, when I usually peel them.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Ingredients:

  • Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Onion, Diced
  • 3-5 Garlic Cloves, Pressed or Diced Fine
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 1 Can Chicken Stock
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
  • 3 Potatoes, Sliced Thin

Saute in some olive oil, the onion and garlic.

When the onions are opaque, add your flour and cook for a minute or so, then add your chicken broth and milk and cook until bubbly and thick.

Add your cheese.

Stir together until nicely mixed in.

Next prepare a section on your counter for an assembly station.  Grab your casserole dish, any size will do, salt and pepper, cheese and potatoes.

I sprayed my dish with Pam first.  Place one layer of potatoes on the bottom of the pan, add salt and pepper.

Next add a layer of cheese.

Repeat this step several times until you have run out of potatoes and cheese.

Pop in the oven for 20 minutes if you cooked the potatoes in the microwave first, or 45-50 minutes if they were raw. Enjoy!

Hi

Yes, I am still alive.

So, had to look up the value of our home in Memphis for tax reasons and was shocked to see the value has increased $25,000 in one years time in the worst market conditions ever to hit the area.  WTF?

We are good, just got our taxes done and happy to be over it.  Getting a refund yay!  Will be the last I am sure, being as I am self-employed now.  Business is going great, Dave is good, animals are good, I got nothing else.
