So cooking for two can be very annoying. My cooking experience was mostly developed in University where we lived in Townhouse style dorms of 8 people. Other than that my cooking was usually just like, a bowl of pasta for myself. Definitely not used to proportions for only two people. Now some days I am okay with this and I'll make a lot of food with the intention of having leftovers, but other days I'll make enough for 2.15 people or something. Or just enough of one dish for another person but the rest of the dishes are just enough for me and my Hubby.
Potatoes are especially difficult for me. It always seems like there isn't enough and then I peel and cut them up and it doesn't seem like that much. And if I just make boiled potatoes we have leftovers, but if I make mashed there usually aren't. I try to estimate based off of "one baked potato per person" kinda rule, but that only really works if the potatoes are large, which they usually aren't. So then my rules of extrapolation seem to just go crazy and I end up with like 4 little potatoes for each person but then I have too many. Lol.
So basically the end result of all of this is that I don't like cooking potatoes all that often. But potatoes are cheapest if you buy them in 10lb bags. So...in my year of living here so far I have had plenty of potatoes go bad on me. I don't use them enough to use them up, and if I did use them up I would probably just have leftover in my fridge that go bad and either way it's a waste.
So I decided I would freeze them!

FOTD - Bronze Babe + Baking!
Yesterday I was totally planning that today I would do an "Aztec Gold" look as I have two very different colours both called Aztec Gold. Well this morning while getting ready I totally forgot all that and just used my L'oreal e/s palette in Kerry's Bronzes. Meh.
