Sam & Ingrid Advice Column
Are potatoes best mashed or baked?
S- I really did not have an appreciation for potatoes until mid last year. With this, I have always preferred potatoes mashed, because it is the easiest way to make them. Personally, I think eating potato skin makes me feel like a farm animal, so I do not really enjoy baked potatoes that much (sorry not sorry). Although, I have recently really enjoyed roasted potatoes.
I- I love mashed potatoes! I sometimes go through a few packs a week. The big buckets from Sam’s *wink* Club are my go to brand. The texture, the flavor, the amount, is absolutely astounding. On the contrary, I don’t really like roasted potatoes. Sorry not sorry Sam.
How do you figure out what the meaning of life is?
S- Ask Mr. Dougherty. But also, I think the overall meaning of life is individual happiness. Don’t base your success in life strictly on your wealth or belongings. It may just be that I am a hippie, but I think life is more about what makes every individual happy and enjoying every experience than what you own or what your “status” is.
I- Good question. I don’t really think there is one true meaning to life. Just do what makes you happy. If money makes you happy, chase that bag. If you enjoy helping others, keep that up. The world needs people like that. I think we all have our own meaning, or purpose. This purpose might not come to you right away, but that’s alright. Go find it. Try new things, meet new people. Life is all about experiences.
