Mom's Cheesy Potatoes


Getting ready for family Thanksgiving this weekend.  We're holding it ahead of time because of my and my sister's crazy schedules.  It's not Thanksgiving without cheesy potato casserole.  Mom always made it for me.  And so I went back through our emails for the recipe, which I asked her for years ago.

Her email (11/25/08) sent to 23-year-old me, living in North Dakota, and not making it home for the holiday, will ensure her potatoes live on:


"i sent the recipe from a website called cooks.com
if you don't get it that's where i got it under potato casserole.  there are so many variations on it but the biggest difference was whether to use one or two cans of cream of something soup.  i sent the one with 2 cans.  also the onions are optional.  fyi sometimes i sprinked a little parmesan on top too but that's just more money to spend. 
note that it says 2 pounds of frozen hash browns.  that is one package if i remember correctly. 
any questions call but it couldnt be much simpler. 
i think it helps to grease the pan if the recipe didn't say so.
love love love
i'll miss you but i'm not looking forward to the "sadness" tha'll be in the air and you're going to miss that!!  love   mimsy"

I Do As I'm Told

On Friday, boss told me I'm doing well, but suggested I cut my hair and 
get a brighter colored coat.  Back Monday, and tada!
