We're attending a holiday party at Big Bad Dad's coworker's home. The whole point of the party is that one of his company's vendor/partners has a lamb farm and is bringing some lamb to roast. Everyone is going to bring side dishes.

We'll be bringing Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Blue Cheese and Garlic from the December 2005 issue of Healthy Cooking magazine. I made this for Thanksgiving, along with the Port Wine Gravy with Mushrooms. Both were rather fantastic and decadent dishes for being in a health-related magazine.

(Healthy Cooking's website is still under construction, so you can't see what a great magazine it is online. However, go down to your local gourmet food store and check it out. I recommend it over Cooking Light, which in my opinion, features too many fitness articles and the recipes are full of things you'd never use twice.)
