Had to share this. Last weekend with the snow storm on its way, I decided that it would be a good time to make this recipe. The only thing I didn't have were the potato flakes. My husband offered so off he went to the grocery store. He got to the right aisle but was having trouble finding instant mashed potatoes and seeing a stocker asked for help. The stocker quickly pointed them out but was looking a little oddly at my husband. Hesitantly he said "what gives with these potatoes, we don't sell too many boxes of these and you're the third guy who's asked for them this afternoon!" With a burst of laughter, my husband replied, "oh it's the bakealong that's going on, a whole lot of folks are making the same recipe that calls for these." Lots of happy faces in my neighborhood on the snow day I think. But if that many asked for it in just one grocery store, how many loaves of bread must have been in the works in all the places that King Arthur reaches. Boggles the mind. Cheers and good eating.
