I will never understand shaming someone for bringing or serving instant mashed potatoes at a holiday dinner. Or any meal for that matter. So let’s keep in mind:

A) Not everyone can cook.

B) Not everyone has the time to cook.

C) Despite being given directions or shown what to do, some people never grasp how to prepare food.

D) If the situation is C, mashed potatoes made from scratch may not turn out very good for that individual. So be thankful for instant!
