I made mashed potatoes for dinner -- not just mashed potatoes; I digress -- and they were goood. This is the first time I ever made mashed potatoes in my whole life.

Reminder: I am 51 years old. I have been eating food for approximately that long. I have been preparing food, in one way or another, for approximately ... 40 years? Give or take? I never made mashed potatoes before. It never came up.

Waiting.
