Deb potato?? What is that?
It’s an instant potato kind of flake/powder that you get in a packet at supermarkets 🙂 Deb is the brand name

Cooking cream
I always run out of wine, I tend to drink it ? while doing the meal prep.
Have most of them after following your recipes for the last few years. Dried Parmesan I haven’t. Will look out for it next time I’m shopping.
