Invisible Potato Surprise

Try this recipe that I threw together and the flavors totally surprised my palette. It was soooo good that I ate it before taking a snapshot. I'm sure this mix of foods have been put together for ages.....just not anywhere in kitchens of my life. I'm no reknowned chef but my discoveries can help some other newbie.
My basic ingredients:
4-5 Potatoes (depending on # servings you want)
1 Onion (1/3 of it diced or sliced julienne style)
1/2 cup of Kielbasa
1 pinch of salt (optional)
Or
1 pinch of garlic salt or garlic powder
Or
Heck, use whatever seasonings you like. I achieved satisfaction by doing a pinch of both. Yes, I know that salt is not your friend so be aware when you choose your flavors. As for myself, I tend to stay away from it. This dish is totalled distracting.
To prepare:
Cut potatoes into small chunks. I don't care much for putting directly on stovetop to cook. I do a pre-boil so that the potatoes are close to being done and easily sliceable. You can go geometric crazy when you cut them.
Dice or slice onions. Slice your kielbasa. Put potatoes, onions, and kielbasa into skillet along with seasonings of your choice. Include approx. 1/2 cup of olive oil and 1 tbsp of margarine/butter.
Simmer in covered skillet until potatoes and onions have a golden brown crisp. Servings: 2-3 persons. For more servings increase your ingredient portions.
Enjoy!

PF Chang's

I ate out at PF Chang's with a friend this past weekend. The food was delicious. This restaurant is located in downtown Providence, Rhode Island in the mall complex. It is a perfect location for tourist when they visit. They are going to get really good business during the Waterfire Celebrations Providence hosts a few times a year. For those of you who don't know what Waterfire is....it is when art lovers or hopeless romantics from all over come through to watch the gondolas pass in the Providence River, visit local art museums and galleries, sit outside and dine at fine restaurants, etc. So since PF Chang's establishment arrived, I think it will add some extra cuisine to the already fabulous selections downtown. I grew to love PF Chang's for the first time when I visited Atlantic City, New Jersey. I went there many times when I lived in New Jersey and still frequent it now that I live in Rhode Island. I can't get enough of AC....

Rise and Shine

This was my breakfast this morning. I got tired of the traditional bagel or the two slices of white toast with peanut butter that seemed to become the norm. I was in the market early in the morning looking for a change; a new flavor to stimulate my palate and at the same time fill my body with essential vitamins and minerals. I'm not so ready to jump buildings in single bounds but this good choice of breakfast helped me tackle my eventful day. I will just leave the tall leaps and metal bending for Clark Kent (S-man).

My Cracker Jack

Hey, remember this wonderful snack? Cracker Jack . Wow. I remember when I was a kid. This snack came in a small rectangular shaped box. There was always a prize inside. Well, this bag says that you have a chance to win a diamond. All you have to do is open the bag. Needless to say, I wasn't a winner because if I was a winner, I would have started this blog off with (Whoopie!!). Well, my bag only contained a little insert with information on Susan B. Anthony. Okay. Nice. She was the nice lady on the front of golden dollars issued by the mint a few years back. I guess it will come in handy when my son does his next research report. So, to recap, I had a nice snack and learned something new at the same time.
