I then turn the heat to Medium and immediately add 4 cups of shredded cheese, Velveeta preferred but...I add it slowly while stirring and then stir for a few minutes until it's good and melted. I then add the green onions and let that go for a few minutes.

Once the potatoes are fork tender we'll add our half & half and an optional small bag of Real Bacon pieces. I usually use 1 qt of h&h for 10lbs but I'll guess at 4/5 with 8lbs and bake something later with the left over h&h. We'll boil for another 15 minutes or so, occasionally stirring.

It's now at a rolling boil. I will let that go for about 20 minutes, occasionally stirring.

I cut up one bunch of green onions. I'll add these in a bit. Btw, I hated potato soup until my wife taught me how to make it this way. Now, it's one of my favorite dishes, especially on a cold, winter day.

It's starting to boil but not yet. The wooden spoon is there to help keep it from boiling over.

I usually have a ham bone to add but I was an idiot this year and left it out. So, this is what we have.

This takes a big pot. I fill it with water about an inch or so over the potatoes. I also add salt and wait for it to boil. In addition, I add diced up ham, leftover from Thanksgiving, in with the boiling potatoes to give the potatoes even more salt as they boil.

I usually use 10lbs of potatoes but 8 will do. I wash them first and then cut them into cubes, skin on.

Nice view from my home office this morning. A bit distracting though.

Looking through photos. Thinking of home. Headed back this weekend. Can't wait to wake up and look out my bedroom window at the deer each morning. It's my daily ritual. Coffee and the morning snow.

Wtf is this? Bastards! Texting bullshit like this. I assume I'm not the only one to get this text message. And I've never signed up for any GOP bullshit. I guess this is their Emergency Alert system. Sneaky fuckers.

In regard to the Platner tattoo, I'm fairly certain that 99% of people had no idea that was a Nazi symbol until they read that on here. Did he know? Not certain. I didn't. And I recall visiting a tattoo parlor with drunk Army buddies that's similar to his story. Who knows? Not condoning. Just saying
