Recipe: Crispy Roasted Parmesan Potatoes

We've done this easy  parmesan potatoes recipe twice so far. 

Both times proved them to be delicious and popular.

They were so popular that I could not take a just-baked picture properly.  They were snapped up too quickly, LoL.

These Crispy Roasted Parmesan Potatoes are epic! Make them for your Sunday Roast or pass them around at a gathering. It goes without saying that these are all about that crispy, golden parmesan crust…..



THESE CRISPY ROASTED PARMESAN POTATOES ARE EPIC!

Just a fleeting glance at these Crispy Roasted Parmesan Potatoes is all you need to KNOW that these are utterly addictive and that you’ll be fighting to make sure you get your fair share.
Just look at them! Soft on the inside….. Golden crispy parmesan crusted on the outside, loaded with ridiculous flavour not just from the parmesan, but from a touch of seasoning too….

QUICK AND EASY TO MAKE

And isn’t it just so convenient that something as fabulous as these are so fuss free to make? Drizzle oil in baking dish, scatter over parmesan + basic seasonings, press down halved baby potatoes, bake.
To make life really easy, I use store bought parmesan, the sand-like type that is sold in the refrigerator section that’s made with real parmesan (I take no responsibility if you choose to try this with the grated parmesan sold in the aisles). Freshly grated parmesan also works, as long as it’s finely grated (but see recipe notes for quantity required).
This is the “sandy” parmesan I use for this recipe. It’s made with real parmesan, grated finely, and it’s sold in the refrigerator section.

Unforgettable Half-Marathon Race (13.1 Miles) at The North Shore

Daughter is 2nd among our children to run a half-marathon. Her brother  ran the Chicago version in the past while wearing Vibram shoes, ouch!

JRE asked me to sponsor her (read: pay the entrance fees) about 4 months ago. As in Homeschooling, our kids took the initiative and trained/taught themselves how to run a marathon race.

I am quite pleased that they each finished the 13-mile race. I also prayed to the Lord that they would not get injured nor sick while running.  What a pounding their feet, ankles and backs must have taken! The Lord answered prayers;  and also gave them strength, endurance and perseverance.


IMO, What differentiates top marathon Winner(s) from the rest of us common folk would definitely be a person's God-given speed, height, muscle bulk, lung capacity, discipline, experience; and very likely the type and/or length of training. 

The male winner of this race crossed the finish line at approximately 1:09.
The female winner finished at approximately 1:18. No record-breakers this year.
Our DD (made 2 pit stops) and finished at approximately 2:13, yay!! Pace, 10:10 per mile.(If she had not stopped, probably 5 -10 minutes faster).

Why was the event "unforgettable"?  I was in the sightline of one of the official race Photographers. I've been immortalized in some official pictures, hahaha.



all smiles at beginning of race, but still a little tense


JRE race stats:
803/1258 overall
290/598 females
31st/47 females, ages 20-24

Female winner
Jane Bareikis, 
Finished In 1:18:45; pace 6:01/mile

2nd place male winner; me in the background, lol

G. Campbell Morgan Was a Wise Guy

Reverend George Campbell Morgan was born on December 9, 1863.  As is often the case, Christian men and women who pray; and love and spend much time in the Word of God are imbued with wisdom that is worth sharing (and heeding) even after they've long departed from this world.

That's the best book (thy Word)
in the best place (my heart)
for the best purpose (that I may not in against thee)
- G. Campbell Morgan



Good to remember for the new year:
