Yukon Gold ("Kalera")

I wonder if it is partly the large fried content that is getting to you? I have been eating lots of baked potatoes, potato soup, and mashed potatoes, with the occasional hash browns, and I feel pretty awesome. Alcohol has been making me feel kind of pukey so I haven't had very much of it the last few days. I'm eating a variety of potato types (Russet, Yukon Gold, and Blue) and making a point of eating the skins, which are high in iron. Don't forget your skins! Oh, the other thing I would recommend is eating lots of yogurt with live cultures, such as Nancy's. I've been eating piles and piles of homemade yogurt, and I can make you some if you like! I think it makes it a lot easier on your digestive system.

Yesterday I think I pretty much just ate baked potatoes with cheese, though in the evening I sliced a potato and baked the slices, then ate them dipped in yogurt that had garlic in it. Yummy!

Today after my tea with milk I ate baked potato slices with cheese (Yukon Gold is not the best potato type for this: too squishy! Russet Burbanks are better) and a bowl of yogurt, then some cottage cheese, then potato soup with cheddar. I also had a small cup of vodka and milk, and just now I ate a bowl of cottage cheese and am now having a bowl of yogurt. I will definitely not be lacking for calcium this month.

I am pooping like a champion.

I'm curious how you are making potato soup without significant onion or garlic content

It's pretty much exactly the same as regular potato soup, but a bit blander, and add a bunch of cheese at the end.
