Did I really forget to mention the potato candy? Our neighbor Christina has an old family recipe that involves boiling one small potato. You mash it up, add about a pound of powdered sugar, stir, and the mixture turns into a liquid. It’s amazing.
You then very quickly add another three points of powdered sugar until the mixture turns into a dough, following which you roll it out onto a surface dusted heavily with powdered sugar, smear it with peanut butter, snake it out, and then chop it into little bits that harden quickly into potato candy.
One piece the size of your thumbnail is really all you need. I ate four or five, leading into the sugar low to end all sugar lows and me falling asleep for seventeen hours.
