🍽️ Bacon mushroom mashed potato Maybe because I stored them the same way as ice cream? Finishing the mashed potatoes was just as satisfying as binging a whole pint of ice cream :P #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

Bacon mushroom mashed potato stored in a metal container on top of a wooden desk.

Reasons why I have long hair right now: 1. A bun is so much easier to cover with a cap without bits poking out of every corner. 2. I haven't found a good hairdresser in the city yet, so it's easier to hide poorly cut ends by tying them up in a ponytail or bun 🙃
