    HA HA HA, I read that without my glasses on and read "virgin potatoes" and was really curious! I'm pretty sure all of our potatoes here in montana are virgins....the sheep on the other hand.....

    I never thought to do that...I'll have to try it!! I've done meatloaf in a muffin tin. My kids think it's fun and I get the portion control. Muffin tins rock! :laugh:

    If you were going to eat that many, why not just put it in a bowl?

    i made 18 and its an easier way than guessing how much a scoop is. i dont eat that many for lunch and didnt intend to have 7, but they were so good. i kept going back and they're so low cal, i had enough room in my "calorie bank" for them.
