Sorry just saw you were on diet

There are so many ways you can have mash potato... i could write a cook book. Porridge is good for morning, and soups.

So since the last time i posted, i have had 3 visits. The last one being today. My first visit, my top arch was not touched, i was very disappointed about this.
