So the dictionary tells me gourmet equals involving or purporting to involve high-quality or exotic ingredients or skilled preparation. I always thought Gourmet equals French! However, turns out there’s a little more to it than feasting on frogs or speaking with a Parisian accent. Gourmet can be anything from fine dining to mac (yes, that is macaroni) and cheese. If you don’t believe me, just ask Jack Campbell.

Now, I believe – and I’m sure my boyfriend agrees also (he’s not allowed to disagree) – that a I make AWESOME mashed potatoes, and I add a little more than just your regular salt, pepper and butter, so does that make it gourmet?? If so, could I really become a gourmet mashed potatoes chef extraordinaire? I think so – in fact, I may just follow my own ramblings. So kids, watch out for a gourmet mash place heading to a town near you! Soon!
