LIW and others.. . For a show of support.........

Theresa,

I'm glad to see you back here. You know how I feel.

I'm a little lost myself.

Well there is definitley a backstabber amongst us........
Whoever sent the FM..........

Liz...I get the feeling there are a few of them.

Fair enough. If I ever need a PI for the LI area, I am getting in touch with you.

Not so much interested in any Arthur Treacher recipes, either. Wouldn't mind that baked potato soup from Houlihan's though.

Whoever sent the FM is a loser, not to mention whoever sent a nasty email like that to a human being.
I would never let one loser stop me from posting, neither should anyone else.

Well, it's obvious people have way too much time on their hands. I hope whomever it is realizes how transparent they are. I'd like to get back to wedding planning on here, so long as another instance of a person being completely insulted and berated in a personal attack doesn't occur again.

Becky - that's easy! :-)

HOULIHAN'S BAKED POTATO SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Potatoes

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 lb Baking potatoes
1/4 lb Butter
2 c Yellow onion -- diced
1/3 c Flour
5 c Water
1/4 c Low sodium chicken base
1 c Instant potato flakes
3/4 ts Dried basil
1/2 ts Tabasco sauce
1 c Heavy cream
1 c Milk
Salt -- to taste
White pepper -- to taste

Preheat oven to 400. Prick washed potatoes & bake
until a fork pierces to the center easily. Remove
potatoes from oven & allow to fully cool. Remove skin
& cut potatoes into one half inch cubes. Set aside. Melt butter
in a large saucepan. Add onions & saute over low heat
for 10 minutes or until onions are translucent. Don't
allow onions to burn. Add flour to onions & butter and
cook 4 - 5 minutes, stirring well until flour is
absorbed. In a separate container, combine water,
chicken base, potato flakes & seasonings. Stir or
whisk thoroughly to eliminate lumps. Add slowly to
onion mixture, stirring constantly so no lumps form.
Increase to medium heat & continue cooking until the
soup begins to gently simmer. Add milk & cream,
stirring until smooth & lightly thickened. Simmer for
15 minutes. Do not boil. Soup should just simmer
lightly. Add cubed baked potatoes & stir to combine.
Remove from heat & serve. Top each serving with grated
cheddar cheese, sliced scallions & bacon pieces.

Fridays Jack Daniels sauce!!! I want that!!! (i think i saw that online somewhere)
