    Wow, yours is totally different from ppearson’s! Is yours the grandmother who hid soldiers or slaves in Georgia? I remember sometime ago, someone mentioned that. Blairsville is above Cleveland and Dahlonega.

    My family’s favorite holiday salad from my Dad’s side of the family (I believe his mother found the recipe in a magazine one year) is a mixture of cubed cheese (mild cheddar or colby, sweet pickles and pimentos) it is festive in appearance and all of kids love it although some in laws and visiters think we are nuts but its not a holiday meal without it. I have never heard of anyone else who makes this dish.

    Okay, HM. Give it up. What are Queen Mary Potatoes — share your recipe!

    We don’t have Thanksgiving. Well it would be a bit impolite wouldn’t it if we celebrated the fact that quite a lot of you lot had left Britain never to return ………………………..

    It is rather humorous that some Americans think you Brits celebrate Thanksgiving Day also, isn’t it?

    Gosh, Jo, I do it from memory, but I’ll see if I can think this out – lol

    Queen Mary Potatoes

    8 large potatoes

    White Pepper

    1 carton of heavy cream

    1 can of evaporated milk

    1 bag of colby cheese

    Peel potatoes and slice (mine always look like little stop signs)

    Rinse potatoes and place in baking dish, add pepper to taste

    add heavy cream & milk(enough to cover potatoes), and generously sprinkle colby cheese on top.

    Bake on 325 until potatoes are soft and cheese is bubbly

    Dig in and enjoy

    I hope it’s as good with skin-on potatoes, cuz I quit peelin’ them years ago!

    I don’t peel potatoes either. I like the skins in mashed potatoes and in potato salad. Actually, if you need them skinless, just boil them whole or in halves, then the skin slides right off.

    A lot of English children imagine that Bonfire Night is celebrated worldwide!

    I don’t know about anyone else, but since I don’t know what Bonfire Night is, I’m fairly certain I don’t celebrate it!

    Sad, but I’m also too lazy to slide skin off of potatoes. . .I’d rather just leave ’em be!

    They are a dish that’s served on the Queen Mary (docked down on Long Beach and used as a hotel/restaurant).

    I don’t know about how they’d taste with the peels on. I don’t eat potato peels, a big reason I quit eating fries. Every restaurant keeps the dirty peels on.

    I have an awesome potato peeler!!

    I bet it’s a Y peeler. I wouldn’t use any other kind for peeling vegetables.

    Sorry, Bonfire Night is 5th November – otherwise known as fireworks night or Guy Fawkes

    Actually Jo, it’s called the man-friend peeler. I’m a lefty so nobody lets me pick up anything sharp because I look so ‘awkward’. Well that and I’ve got these horrible scars on my fingers where I’ve almost cut off fingers in the past.

    Wow. They all sound so scrumptious. I should make every one and have a tasting party like a wine-tasting party.

    So HM–now we get to the truth of the story. . . 🙂

    I am horribly clumsy with sharp objects and yet continue to use them. The last incident happened at work. I was openeing boxes of paper – you know how they have those plastic strips around them? Well I was hacking away with an exacto blade and hacked right into my finger. The funny thing was, I didn’t even notice I was bleeding until somebody came into the supply room and screamed. My finger bled for over a day. I put some peroxide on it, added some neosporine and taped it up really tightly.

    Then again, I’m the same person who broke her toe and muttered nary an ‘ouch’, the same person who slammed her hand in a window (I literally thought my finger had been cut off at the top) and said ‘oh.’ Guess I’m just not excittable.
