    Oh yum, this made me hungry. I don't think I would care if there were whitecaps on the water...I just want to live near the water!

    Oh Kathleen, my favorite things...

    Beautiful country and POTATOES!

    Thank you for sharing a bit of your world, and some wonderful ways to serve potatoes. I especially love the cut-out version. So clever! xo

    That water looks cold! Love your cookie cutter taters, but mashed is still my favorite. Ahhhh, two of my favorite soups, especially the NE chowder...none of that red Manhattan chowder for this NE born and bred! Talk to you soon. :)

    Hi Kathleen,
    This is just so cool! I love your beach pics, the water when it was windy is just an awesome site! Oh, and those daisies and a rose? I can't believe you still have roses in bloom! I need to visit Nantucket! Hubby wants to go out East next summer. Maybe I'll have to talk him into a little trip up your way~ The potatoes are so neat too, what patience you have to cut all those with a cookie cutter! Thanks for sharing this awesome post, Cindy

    ACK! White chowder! What kind of a New Yorker are you! :-)

    I like both versions, but at the beach house for us, it was always Manhattan style. My Mom thought the NE version was a heart attack in a bowl.

    Gorgeous photos!!! Great potatoes, too ... love the cutout ones. I would never have thought of doing that. So cute!

    40 potato versions, eh? Wow ... my Dad would love you; he always says potatoes are his favorite veggie. I think we can all agree with that.
    Best wishes... Cass

    Oh, Kathleen, those potatoes cut into leaf shapes are over the top. Cute! I would never have thought to do that. Love seeing more of your beach, even in the wind.

    The cut out potatoes are so cute. Even the most picky kid would eat those. I love NE clam chowder.

    Kathleen, the bay is gorgeous regardless of the weather, but I love the summer scenes.

    Your cut-out potatoes are so cute. What a fun thing to do. Were those for the grandkids or you and Mike?

    I should never have questioned how you would use up 50 lbs. of potatoes. I think you have unlimited ideas how to cook them all up.

    What wonderful comparison photos. It's as though the life had been sucked off the beach. Your picture of the rose is exquisite and I'm curious about your potatoes. Have a great day.

    Thanks for coming up with my "one new thing" for this year's Thanksgiving dinner. I usually use my leave cutters for pie crust but spuds are a vastly superior concept.

  35. MarshaOctober 16, 2009 at 6:23 PM

    Those potato cutouts are such a cute idea! Love them and seeing how you use the whole bag too. The scenes from the beach still look good to me...didn't see Matt walking did you?

    Love roasted potatoes. Cute idea to cut them w/ cookie cutters. The bits leftover would be good for hashbrowns around here.

    Potato cutouts...what a novel idea! I can't wait to try them. Thanks for sharing your great recipes and ideas.

    Your water photos are lovely. Isn't it interesting how fast the water changes?
