.19 when I came back

DW paid $1.92/gal a few days ago. And I had paid $2.01/gal.

Wow... we've dropped a lot but we're still around 2.69 last I filled up.  My folks in Buffalo said it's about 40 cents more there than here as well.  I would absolutely fall over if it got around $2 again!

I had not seen this thread til today.  Someone had asked for my Yummy Potatoe Soup recipe on another thread...

I think I posted it in Around the Campfire too,  Sorry, sometimes I get so lost here 

Yummy Potato Soup Recipe (Makes a large pot)

1 lb bacon fried crispy* set bacon aside til soup is ready to serve.

Use a small amount of the bacon grease to saute 1-diced onion and 2 cloves chopped garlic**

Peeled and cubed russett potatoes (I usually do a whole 5 lb bag, sometimes more, lol, cause my hubby loves it and the girls at work love it.)

Put peeled and cubed russett potatoes in pot with just enough water to cover add a little salt and tablespoon butter.

Add the saute'd onion and garlic.

Cook in slow cooker or pot on stove on low temp til potatoes are fork tender.

Add milk and cubed velveta cheese to desired taste and consistency ( I like my soup thick and hubby likes lots of "juice* lol)

Pepper to taste

 Remember when adding the milk and cheese to keep temp low, stir occasionally but the more you stir the more your potato will break down some like it better that way.

When cheese is melted pour into soup bowl, crumble a generous amount of bacon on top.  Serve with hot bread or crackers.

*If you prefer a fast fix you can use bacos or dried bacon bits.

**If you are not a bacon eater, you can saute' your onion in butter or EVOO.  We love onions and garlic so I use 2 onions and 4 cloves garlic.

I also like to garnish with fresh chopped chives and a dolop of sour cream.

Yummmm Yummmm I think I am going to have to make some too!!!
