the mashed potatoes became soft and fluffy because of the extra milk I added, the salad was surprisingly fresh I guess because I didn't use garbanzo beans, should've cooked the meat a little more I kept it somewhat low because I did other things while it was cooking, maybe I'll add an extra onion next time, and the chocolate covered berries were a bit better since I made sure they were completely dry before dipping and made some without the sprinkles
