Mashed Potatoes Cartoon
I asked my readers to develop a good caption for this cartoon. There were so many good ones, but I decided on this one because of its play on words. I must have thought of the idea for this cartoon around Thanksgiving when we have lots of friends and family over for a big meal with lots of mashed potatoes. Someone suggested that the Reluctant Gourmet hold a whisk in his hand, which would make mashing the potatoes quite tricky, but it is not a whisk but a masher.
You may also enjoy my post called What’s the best recipe for mashed potatoes? And Secrets to Mashed Potatoes.
