I was going to say, funeral potatoes are f'ing delicious. We don't call them funeral potatoes, realize they are devoid of any real nutrition, and really only have them with ham for Easter, but they do taste good.

I'm with you. We call them "Company Potatoes" in our family. I originally found the recipe in a cookbook put out by my son's elementary school & that's what it was called.  The recipe was submitted by one of my son's teachers so he thought that was neat when I started making them.

My SIL makes them as part of our Christmas Eve celebration each year.  I hate to think of the repercussions if she ever stopped. 

I would like to add a few suggestions to Jill's recipe:  Make sure the hashbrowns are completely thawed.  It helps in the baking/cooking process as well as making it easier to combine the ingredients.  I've used both shredded & cubed hash browns& prefer the cubed ones. I've also tried the O'Brien kind of potatoes. (Think that's what they're called. They have cut up peppers & I think onions in them. Adds a little zing.)  I use crushed potato chips as the topping instead of the corn flakes. (Mainly because my mom always used them as her casserole topping of choice while I was growing  up. It's a genetic thing, lol.) I've heard of people adding cut up ham or other cooked meat to make it a main dish casserole. There are plenty of variations on the recipe sites.  

IIRC, the "Funeral Potatoes" name has Amish roots as it was a part of their funeral luncheons. 

It will be interesting to know what the Duggars will do for Mary's post-funeral luncheon/dinner.  Maybe they can hold it in the flipped house for sale that has the 4 kitchens.  Plenty of room for the food & people. Not sure about parking though.  But the more I think about it I picture them passing out popcorn,  pickles & snack mix in Cross Church's parking lot. (Similar to Jill & Jessa's wedding receptions.)  Grandma Duggar deserves so much better.

Visiting that page gives me a rather disturbing understanding of her and her ilk's worldview. Total paranoid nutters with massive heapings of bigot on top. I went down the rabbit hole on this one and looked through some links, one interestingly (for me at least, heh) about the Swedish Church and how they have created this 'extreme' survival guide for young queer people, how dare they.

The Swedish Church apparently only 'identifies' as protestant (nevermind it's one of the earliest Lutheran churches and was the State Church of Sweden for oh... half a millennia or so) and its teachings goes against what any 'Bible-believing' Christian could possibly abide. Like, how we should treat everyone with love and compassion and not be judgemental arseholes. Darn heathens.

This is what the survival guide says (scroll down just a little for a summary in English with links to the actual guide):

Under the rainbow you are not alone (Official page of the Swedish Church, Västerås diocese)

And this is the Wakeupendtime interpretation of it:

The Swedish Church creates LBGTQ view of Bible, claims Jesus was queer

Which is a bit like reading a house of mirrors version of the thing. It's not technically untrue, but the spin... oh the spin.

Also, as fair warning, there is a picture of Donald Trump glaring at you when you access the page and I'm not sure why unless they think he's the Antichrist about to bring about Armageddon or something. They do seem very keen on the idea.

If this is what the Dillard kids were brought up with I can definitely understand why Derick is such a hateful nutcase. Apple didn't fall far from the tree.

This end-times stuff is tied to very right wing U.S. political cult and operates on fear, hate, and suspicion--with ample doses of misogyny, racism, homophobia, and xenophobia.  It's scary because some of these Dominionists feel they need to hasten Jesus's arrival by taking over American institutions to make them "godly" (their version of what God wants, the correct version) and interfere with Middle East politics to fulfill prophesies they see in Revelations (e.g., tail wags dog). Last I heard, Trump was sent by God to help bring about the Second Coming (useful idiot?), and Obama and/or the Pope is the Antichrist to lure the faithful from their path. Who knows? The details are flexible when convenient. 

The Internet is filled with websites and videos about this stuff. However, seeing it on Pinterest, home of folksy wedding tableaus and Stitch Fix wardrobe favorites, is very unsettling indeed. 

And I agree that the Dillards are much more extreme than they would have us believe. The Duggars may fall into this group too, but they're well-practiced in hiding it.

In my family, we have a variation of that recipe that we call 'Cooper potatoes' because my sister got the recipe from a coworker named Cooper.  They are delicious and will feed an army.  We also make them for family picnics and such.  Cheesy goodness.

[emma675]

I also have a version of that potato casserole, but it's always been called Mormon Potato Casserole in my family. It features those cubed potatoes, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and a panko topping. It is a heart attack in a dish but soooooo yummy. We usually only make it once or twice a year. 

I keep seeing the Duggars refer to Mary as a "soul winner". Wtf does that mean?

I’m not even going to play like I wouldn’t eat that. Maybe I am garbage but my eating preferences can be quite affordable. 

Cheesy hashbrowns ! Love them. They sell them at our local deli also.

[Christina87]

I make it, but without the soup, so that makes me feel like it's a little healthier... 😜

[Westiepeach]

I love potatoes, and I love cheese... but mix them together in any form and I find the taste disgusting. My mother made homemade potato and cheese pierogis that I used to literally gag on. Everyone in the entire world LOVED my mother's pierogis except me. Now even just thinking about them... blech.

So the Funeral Potatoes would have to be cheese-less (sad) or potato-less. Which, if you look at the name...

I guess I am out.

It means Mary verbally bludgeoned non-believers until they collapsed in defeat and declared themselves saved in self defense.

Count me in as another potato casserole lover. I have a recipe that’s a Cracker Barrel knockoff.  I make it for Boy Scout potlucks, and the dish comes home scraped clean every time. And, yes, they’re magnificent as leftovers.

Topic?  I’m sure Jill will post some embarrassing pics of the boys at the wake, next to the casket at the funeral, and in front of Grandma Duggar’s grave site as well.  Probably with a billion hashtags.

Instead of giving advice, it would have been great for this long time reality star from a large family to discuss the reasons they had to flee a country so suddenly and are never allowed to return without facing jail time.

Jill Duggar Dillard/Derick Dillard

POSTED BY ENT LAWYER AT 9:00 AM  

This was posted in Crazy Days and Nights (a gossip website) this morning.  Take it for what it's worth.  This a blind item reveal.

They had a blind a couple of years ago regarding Derick  and their "dear friend" who died in a mysterious accident right before they left DA .  Dullards had a post about how heartbroken they were over the friend 's death on their blog.  According to the blind, it was more than a friendship on Derick's side.  The blind was much longer and the blind said Derick was involved in the accident.  Derick was also revealed in the original blind.  Again, according to the blind, hush money was paid and they hightailed it out shortly after that.

I have no idea whether any of this is true or not.  Please form your own opinion and take it for what it's worth.

I posted about this at the time and copied the original blind.  I'm going to step in the way back machine and see if I can find it.  I'll repost if I can.

This has also been mentioned on the Foxella website several times.  There's a fair amount of gossip online about Derick's general sleaziness.  I'm not sure about the truth of it but he doesn't seem to last very long anywhere.  We'll just have to see if he manages to stay in law school.

[madpsych78]

If this blind item is true (and I think it's plausible), then I wonder how much Jill was really involved, or how much she really knows. I doubt that Jill would be posting #besthubbyever if she knew Derick had engaged in homosexual relations. 

I also think if this blind item is true, Derick is less likely to 'fess to it than even Josh. And yet he is still fairly active on social media, particularly Twitter, which doesn't seem that smart to me if he is not in good standing in DA. Even Smuggar doesn't use social media anymore; at most he is in some of Anna's posts or in Duggar family pictures.

[Lunera]

The Dullards and the Duggars attended a wedding. Pickles said something about a wedding on Saturday but wasn't sure if the Duggars were going to attend since Mary's funeral is on Monday. 

I didn't notice at first but after zooming in on the wedding party it appears Jana was a bridesmaid.

If that's Jana, she dyed her hair much darker. 

[Ijustwantsomechips]

Bridesmaids dresses that aren’t candy pink? Yay!  And a modest bridal gown that hasn’t been Franken-stitched together.  Double yay!

Izzy’s pants are too long, but he looked handsome in his little suit.  

[GeeGolly]

It seems the bride is Mandie Query. Haven't the Querys been discussed on here as a longtime Fundy family?

[ginger90]

I recall the name of the groom from Derick’s Twitter, as a defender of Derick’s rants.

The original blind said the dear friend was going to expose Derick's double life when dear friend had his "accident" .  They also said Jill knew about it.  

To me, it explains a lot.  The Jazz rant, the time Jill freaked about the shower rod falling down and the over the top best hubby ever crap.  

I doubt she knows everything, but she has at least an idea of what Derick was up to.

The pants to that suit are 3 sizes too big and look horrible.  I can’t believe she put him in a wedding looking like that.  Those poor kids, with 2 idiot parents.

When I saw the first picture of Jill, I thought she was wearing a t-shirt. I was like, "really, Jill? This is a tasteful wedding, and your husband and son are in suits." Then I was relieved to see it was a dress, and an okay dress for Jill standards. I totally wouldn't put it past Jill to wear an orange and white striped t-shirt, along with a modesty shirt underneath and a gray maxi skirt, to a wedding, while the menfolk wore suits. I must say, I really like Jill's hair up! It looks so much more elegant, and like she gave it some effort. 

ETA: the snarker in me wonders if they chose izzy as a ring bearer just to have an "insta famous" wedding. It seems odd to me that they weren't close enough to either parent to be in the wedding party, and weren't related, either. 

Edited June 16, 2019 by Christina87

[PradaKitty]

I guess the Duggar’s REALLY don’t believe in tailoring. Izzy’s pants are a walking hazard!  He looks from the waist down like a saggin’ Rapper wanna be. 

The kiss between the Dullards is awful. It looks like a brother and sister kissing. 

These people..... 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[Quilt Fairy]

I see the bride is no longer entitled to her own name, apparently now that she's a Mrs it's strictly Ofdavid.

Isn't that a big no no to try and force God's hand regarding the end of times? Doesn't everything happen in His time and only He knows when that time is? That's why horoscopes, Ouija boards, etc are looked down on because they are supposedly Devil tied because of fortune telling.  I have a feeling people are going to be real surprised if there is an afterlife.

 They look so stiff and awkward for people who are apparently doing it at least four times a week! 

[Zella]

If I didn't know who these people were, I'd just assume they were strangers who were awkwardly pressured into kissing each other the first day they met. No way would I believe they'd been married, what, 5 years and had 2 children together.

[lulu69]

So Dickhead wore his scuffed up brown elf shoes with a fancy grey suit and Jill wore a dress that looks like it was a 19th century home ec project gone awry SMH. And you're telling me Jill couldn't at least take safety pins or some scotch tape to hem Iz's pant legs? These people are so f'ing clueless.

Right?! It reminds me of those parents who think it's "cute" to force their male and female toddlers to kiss on the lips, or even like people who have grown up together kissing (like people who play siblings on TV). This is how I imagine Peter and Jan Brady kissing to be, haha. 

I don't buy for one second that they're doing it 4 times a week. I TOTALLY believe Jill is slathering herself with oils, but when Derick turns her down (or I could see him asking for a BJ and not returning the favor, eeeeew), she thinks, "well, we didn't have sex, but I did my part!"

So I'm assuming Sam stayed home, but... can we hope that maybe he escaped?

Have you looked at the suit Dreck is wearing?  Jill probably doesn't even know Izzys pants are too long.  That is just the way men in her family wear them.  To me a 3 piece suit with the jacket off and rolled cuffs is the sexiest suit when it is tailored.  Derick in those pictures,  not so much. 

[BitterApple]

I have to say, Jill looks really nice with her hair twisted up like that. If she isn't going to invest in regular haircuts and deep conditioning treatments, this is a good option for her.

I'll repeat something I've posted before:  They look like hard plastic dolls with their faces mashed together.  It's repulsive that they continue to do these wretched kissing pictures and considering Jill's sex advice, it's ironically sexless.
