4 oz parmesan cheese, shredded (1 cup)
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup panko
1/4 tsp dried italian seasoning, crushed
1 tbsp olive oil
1. preheat oven to 400. lightly grease 2 quart square baking dish. set aside. scrub potatoes and cut into 1 inch pieces. in large saucepan cook potatoes in lightly salted boiling water 12 to 15 minutes or until tender; drain.
2. in skillet, cook and stir garlic and thyme in butter over medium heat for 1 minute; add potatoes. coarsely mash potatoes. stir in buttermilk, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. fold in fontina cheese, half of the parmesan and the blue cheese, evenly spread in baking dish.

In other news, today my sister, Alyssa, told me she found this blog and says it's "extremely hard to find." Oh well. More importantly, she liked the good news/bad news thing I had recently stopped doing out of laziness. It will return this post!
Good news: took the first real nap of the summer today
Bad news: I have a heck of a lot of energy now and nothing to do with it. I must use it for good and not for evil.
