Mormon Inquisition Debriefing

My Mormon friend Stacey rules. (Hey! She should rule a planet! That's how much she rules.)

1. She enjoyed the South Park "All About Mormons" episode and gave technical corrections when needed.

2. She laughed a big belly laugh at the end when the Mormon kid says "Suck my balls."

3. She showed us a tiny sliver of her sacred underwear. I screamed "My eyes!" but my face did not melt ala Raiders of the Lost Ark.

4. She brought good Jello, as opposed to my Make Your Own Jello Salad bar, which did not set even given the Speed Set method, or my Jello Shots which set perfectly but were very strong.

5. She said the Funeral Potatoes and Rice Krispies Square were made correctly even though I had never made either before.

6. She was very patient answering questions about the underwear. We tried to find good comparisons to other religions for a symbol of ones covenant with God. When Carolyn said that wedding rings and clerical collars were not accurate analogies because unlike underwear they were meant to be seen by others, either Catherine or her friend brought up circumcision. This led to a fabled URL called Jew Porn dot-com, and I don't know the rest of the conversation because I was at the PC trying to locate this non-existent site.

7. We are still friends, thank God, even though the Queen Mother suggests she might be stewing about it right now and will turn on us later.

Funeral Potatoes? I've never heard of such a thing. Are they covered with a shroud of cheesy goodness?

You may know it by another name:
FUNERAL POTATOES

Although known by other titles, this casserole got its nickname by being served at so many post-funeral dinners.

2 10-ounce packages frozen hash browns (or 1 2-pound package, or 6 boiled potatoes, shredded or cubed)
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 pint sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1/2 to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Pepper to taste (due to the soups, it usually needs no salt)
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 cup crushed corn flakes

Allow hash browns to thaw about 30 minutes. Mix together onions, sour cream, soups, cheese and pepper, then mix in potatoes. Place all ingredients in a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Mix butter with corn flakes and sprinkle on top of the casserole. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Microwave: Before adding cornflake crumbs, cook 10 minutes on high. Stir. Sprinkle on cornflake crumbs and cook an additional 10 minutes.

Thank you! I appreciate any recipe involving a crunchy corn flake topping.
