It's a desert recipe.

*sidles in*

Kirin ~ Let us know how the recipe goes.

Taiyo ~ The cheesy potato pancakes sound yummy.

I've been running so crazy this holiday season I didn't even get any cookies or anything made.
My mom was supposed to teach me how to make her bread, but we thought it best if I stayed away because I caught the stomach flu a few weeks ago. My dad is still going through cancer treatments so we don't want to expose him to anything if we can help it.

If I make it I will.

I keep wanting to make stuff, but then I can't make myself get motivated enough to do anything.

I need to start fleshing out my superhero.

Damia: They are, here's the recipe -->Cheesy Potato Pancakes | MrFood.com

Taiyo ~ That does look & sound good.
I'm gonna have to try that soon.
Right now I'm trying to come up with some ideas of what to do with some roasted potatoes & carrots.
We also have some leftover ham.
I might just make it into a creamy soup tomorrow.

Mmmm roasted tatoes...

One of these days soon, I'm going to do some beer battered mozzarella sticks. I've got a couple different beer batter recipes, so why not?

I love mozzarella sticks, but I have never tried to make them myself.
The roasted potatoes & carrots were so good, but sort of tired of eating them with just the ham, but I hate to waste food so we need to do something with them.
I'm sort of thinking about just smashing them up a bit & adding some cream of mushroom soup to it & maybe some peas. It's gotten cold here in the last few days so I think soup would be a good dinner.

Indeed. Or make them into a casserole, those are good for cold weather too.

I want to try baked cheese sticks.

Oohhh those sound delicious, Kirin Rosenbaum

I love the deep fried ones but they are so unhealthy.

Fried foods in general taste sooooo good but are so bad for us, haha. Although sometimes when they taste greasy, it is a rather unpleasant feeling, if you know what I mean.

and greasy or not they sit heavy on my stomach.

Yes that is very true for me too, I would say

Making a food too greasy makes me a bit queasy as well. Even too heavy a smell of it.

Or also the sight of all the oil that is dripping and shining

The sight of oil doesn't seem to bother me too much. I dunno, I like the golden brown color of it. But the smell... I used to have to empty oil fryers at a deli. Smelled horrible. So potent.

I'm one of those people who, if I see a ton of oil on my pizza, I will hold the slice vertically so all the oil will drip down into puddles onto my plate

Then I implore you to never ever EVER order triple peperoni...
The only time pizza has ever made me nauseous, because there were puddles... PUDDLES... ON the pizza

I will also dab with the napkin to get rid of some of that oil!

I've done that. I prefer my crust moist but dry. Anything above that and the pizza completely dissolves if you microwave leftovers, so too much oil makes the crust soggy and wet.

I like pizza crusts that are a bit crispy, but not too dry either
