Granny's Crab Potatoes

2 cup Crabmeat
4 large Baking potatoes
4 tbsp Butter
1/2 cup Onion, chopped
1/2 cup Mushrooms, sliced
Ground pepper to taste
1 cup Dry vermouth
2 tbsp Low-fat plain yogurt
2 tbsp Sour cream
1/4 cup Half and half
3/4 cup Gruyere cheese

Clean and bake potatoes. Cool slightly and cut in half, lengthwise.
Place pulp into bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch shell. Reserve skins and
mash pulp. Melt butter in skillet and saute onion until it takes on a
light coloring (about 15-20 minutes). Add mushrooms and saute
another 5 minutes. Add the crabmeat and pepper. Add vermouth and
bring to a boil. Make sure you stir frequently. Cook mixture until
liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and add yogurt and sour cream,
then add half and half. Combine crabmeat, onion mixture, pulp from
potato, and about 1/2 of cheese. Add additional ground black pepper
and a bit more half and half if desired. Place the mixture into the
potato skins. Sprinkle with additional 1/4 cup cheese. Bake at 400
degrees F

What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.
