mashed potatoes

i made my first batch of mashed potatoes last night. yes, 25 years and i've never made mashed potatoes. i share with you my secret recipe for goodness:
- get boyfriend to cut/peel potatoes appropriately
- put potatoes in a big pot with enough water just to cover them
- boil on stove
- forget about potatoes
- remember potatoes some 40 minutes later
- drain potatoes
- toss in some salt, oregano, garlic powder, whatever other spices you find in your cabinet
- add in more spices for "color"
- find delightful potato masher (never been used) in "drawer o' kitchen stuff"
- mash mash mash
- dance
- mash
- eat deliciousness.
