I’m a late arriver to the skinny mashed potatoes train. I wish I had jumped aboard sooner! They are delicious!
For those of you wondering how mashed potatoes can be skinny, well let me fill you in on the not so secret substitution–cauliflower.
Say what?
Yep, you heard me. Instead of using actual potatoes, sub them for cauliflower.

She hasn’t been back to England since the car crash that killed her mother when she was six, an event she remembers only in her nightmares. But when she arrives at Herne Hill to sort through the house—with the help of her cousin Natasha and sexy antiques dealer Nicholas—bits of memory start coming back. And then she discovers a pre-Raphaelite painting, hidden behind the false back of an old wardrobe, and a window onto the house’s shrouded history begins to open…1849: Imogen Grantham has spent nearly a decade trapped in a loveless marriage to a much older man, Arthur.

But everything changes when three young painters come to see Arthur’s collection of medieval artifacts, including Gavin Thorne, a quiet man with the unsettling ability to read Imogen better than anyone ever has. When Arthur hires Gavin to paint her portrait, none of them can guess what the hands of fate have set in motion.From modern-day England to the early days of the Preraphaelite movement, Lauren Willig’s That Summer takes readers on an un-put-downable journey through a mysterious old house, a hidden love affair, and one woman’s search for the truth about her past—and herself.
College is a fantastic time in a young person’s life. You get to “find” yourself, most likely live away from home for the first time, and meet some awesome friends along the way.
Not to mention graduate with some great stories… 😉
It’s hard after you graduate to stay in touch. People move, start families, work takes over; I’m extremely lucky that I still see and speak with a lot of my friends from college. We all live relatively near one another and if not, are at least up to date with what’s going on in each others lives (lets face it, we’re nosy like that).
I graduated a semester early and that last semester I student taught from home so really, I only had 3 years on campus. My last year on campus, I lived in the newly built “Pods”. It was a suite of four rooms with two bathrooms.
8 girls living together in close quarters. It was awesome and crazy at the same time.
Some of the best memories from college are from the year I lived in the Pod.
This was us the second night of our junior year. 🙂
