Hot Potato

Kim gives us the gossip on her date with Martin, where she was "disappearing" to, and most imporantly, her potato recipe.

Dec 7, 2010

This week I was so happy you all got to see how much fun my sister Kyle and I have together. Watching us get that facial really made me laugh. I have to say I really did notice a difference. I don't usually care about things like that, so I'm happy my sister dragged me there. It was worth it!

Yes, we argue at times but we love each other. I think that is just part of a normal sister relationship.

Although, I enjoy every moment I share with all my kids, I really do love my alone time with Kimberly. She's my youngest, and I cherish the moments we share. She is such an old soul and I love how straightforward she is. I really admire that about her.

I thought it was sweet of Lisa to set me up on the blind date with Martin. I know that it's time for me to create a life outside of my kids. They are growing up, and it's hard to let go. I do want to find someone to share my life with. I thought Martin was charismatic and very much a gentleman. I love his sense of humor. I think it was hard being there with everyone watching us so closely. I felt nervous and very pressured. I wouldn't say there was a love connection...if nothing else, I made a new friend.

Just to clear up why they said that I kept "disappearing": Mohammed's house is 60,000 square feet! I wasn't trying to be rude, but I found myself wandering around just to find one of the 16 bathrooms!

It was a beautiful night, and I was relieved that it was drama-free. The tension between Kyle and Camille had been stressful on all of us. Thank you so much for all of your supportive and kind words. I really appreciate them.

Answers to your questions:

I will let you all know about the website for my jewelry once it's up.

For info on the facial Kyle and I had go to Carinaskincare.com.

The recipe for "Kim's famous potatoes":
Peeled and cubed potatoes, diced green and red bell pepper, Bermuda onion, salt and pepper to taste, and, of course, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (or real butter if you prefer). Fold in tinfoil and put them on the BBQ until potatoes are soft. Approximately 45 minutes.

Until next week...Kim

Kim, I think you are very sweet and I hope we get to see more good times with you this season (though I know there are some rough spots to come)!

So do we get an update on you and Martin? Or is that against the contract ;). Put yourself out there a little more, mama! You're gorgeous!

We've been waiting for you to blog! :-)

Kim, Thanks for filling in the missing puzzle piece! After you 'dissappeared' for awhile, you came back with a guy. Who was he? You two seemed friendly. Was there any 'chemistry' with that one? Cant wait to check out your jewelry site once it's up! Love, Aloha808

Kim, I adore your sweet nature. We have been patiently waiting for you to blog so we could devour you. Kidding.

Kim, I also think you are very sweet and your recipe sounds good. I'm one who thinks you don't need a man at all. They're not worth the trouble. Make a life with your kids and forget about finding a man.

It would be fun to see you and Kyle in an updated version of 'Return to Witch Mountain'. Do you think the two of you would ever consider doing that? I think you two sisters could give old 'Harry Potter' a run for his money! It's time to bring back 'RTWM'!!!

Kim, I thought your reaction to getting an electric current in your facial was hilarious! As far as your date with Martin, it was really nice to see you in action...it was probably the first time I didn't say 'poor Kim' while watching the show. Kudos to you for moving on with your life!

My hubby and I think your recipe sounds delicious so we're going to try it at our party this coming weekend and tell everyone it's 'Kim's Famous Potatoes'. Teresa Giudice made her cookbook, so Honey, why not you??? You're a Mom who probably has some great recipes to share. I think your recipes and stories would be very interesting. Please think about this! Best, Aloha808

I'm so glad you have joined the RHOBH. I enjoyed watching you on Hello Larry.

I loved the show Hello Larry

You can do so much better than Martin Kim!! You are funny, nice and pretty. Go get um...

We DIDN'T see you & Kyle having "fun" together. All you did was go have a facial together. Probably just something to do for the show to film.

I'll advise you not to wear skin tight, low-cut dresses. You're not in your 20's going to a night club. It came across as desperate for attention.

Just be yourself.

I loved the scene with you and your daughter. You're loving relationship is very obvious. She's beautiful.

I love the women who don't bring the drama so you are one of my favorites. I hope we both make a love connection.

Don't bring drama......WHAT????

I so love you on the show! I thought I sw chemistry with you and Martin and would love to see that relationship bloom into something bigger!

I also love your daughter Kimberly.

I am sure Martin is a very nice man but he looks so much older than you. I found Lisa's little comments very malicious. For one, that man is not age appropriate, Martin has got to be approaching 70? Also, who cares if you had your girls out that night, Lisa, Kyle & Taylor can all be so catty to you. I think you were much better suited with the man that helped you back to the table. Stay strong, believe you will meet the right man, and take your time. Don't settle whatever you do.

@ Wyndsor: what channel were YOU watching? That was the most fun we've seen Kim and Kyle have! Kim looked great at the dinner and her confidence was palpable. If you've got it, why not flaunt it? Maybe you should try flaunting it too Wyndsor...unless of course you don't have anything to flaunt!

Re: potato recipe

Mine is delicious and almost like yours. Boil Potato's in water, cool them, use olive oil because it's healthier and garlic and put in pan. You can then add peppers and stuff with the sliced potatoes.

It was very nice seeing you happy in this episode!

It's already been brought back - Race to Witch Mountain with Duane "The Rock" Johnson.

Kim, of your four children, who is your favorite? Who are you closest to? Who is the most independent? Who will go on to become an actress or an actor?

LOVE YOU! Can't wait to see more of you and find out what is to come with your dating life. I know a lot of woman can relate to you and your situation of being single mom with grown children. You got it going on...best wishes!

Yeah, but I'm talking about specifically bringing Kim and Kyle back in another remake of RTWM! Who cares about the other remakes? It's Kim and Kyle who would make it interesting to see again, especially now after all we've seen about their relationship!

She has the figure for it & the money to afford Dolce & Gabbana. Life doesn't end, & sexiness certainly doesn't end, with one's twenties!

Good luck in the dating world! Martin looked like your dad - NOT age appropriate! I hope you find someone in your own age range.

Kim - It was good to see you having a good time at Mohammed's! Great about finding a new friend in Martin - hopefully we will see you seriously dating someone soon! You deserve happiness, and a good love in your life besides your children. I am also glad to see you start coming out of your shell a little bit, and was glad to see more of your personality coming out! Good luck and happiest of holidays to you!

I could just see you wondering around looking for a bathroom in that behemoth palace of a home. What a riot!! Watch your back with Taylor, she's got it in for you and likes to talk behind backs rather than face to face - plus she's a drama queen. Good luck this season.

If she meets a man who is trouble then of course he's not worth it, but ALL men are not trouble. Kim, everyone deserves to have someone to share their lives with on an adult intimate level. Dont listen to the people who say you dont need a man. Being a mother can be a very rewarding and fulfilling job, I can attest to that. Motherhood does not and should not satisfy your "womanly" needs. Get out there and date......you will find someone, or someone will find you.

Hello Kim! It's SO nice to see you coming out of your shell lately. I'm certain we only see very little of who you actually are, especially since some of the other ladies have such large personalities. I watched you growing up and remember you well. I would have killed for your hair when I was a teenager. My favorite movie of yours was Tuff Turf. I think other viewers would be surprised to know you starred with Robert Downey Jr. and James Spader.

You and Martin made a lovely couple, and your hand holding was very sweet. I hope there's more of that to come for you. Take good care!

Kim, All us girls think you are sweet, real and beautiful! It's nice to see that those girls haven't made you into them. Don't change, your AWESOME!

You are sooo cute! I just love it when you're on the show. I can relate to you perhaps the best of all. I spend so much time with my kids and hate to see them getting older. When you're happy in their company, there is the tendency to let adult friendships die, and that has happened to me a lot over the years. I think that's just what makes some of us happy, though. That's what all of our moms and grandmas did, but somehow women today are expected to be teenagers as well as mothers, and it doesn't always make sense to do so. I think your life looks great, so don't let anyone tell you it isn't!

Kim, I just love you and Kyle. I too watched you and Kyle grow up on the screen and was so jealous seeing you with James Spader in Tuff Turf. I fell in love with him then and tried to grow my hair out as long as your was. Silly kid stuff. You still look fantastic and I wish you would come back to acting. My two daughters come first in my life too however I do make special time to be alone with my husband of 19 years. I am glad to see you in the show and look forward to seeing more with you and Kyle.

Kim, I loved watching your daughter play the joke on Single Gary about how many kids you had. Did you ever get a chance to tell him it was a joke? He seemed like a nice guy.

I saw she and Kyle have fun so speak for yourself. Kim said the dress was her. If that's what she likes, it's her business. I thought it suited her personality. You must be a barrel of laughs at parties!

Hi Kim, Since you are such a caring Mom, and always put your children first I would love for you to have a piece of jewelry from my collection. It is a mother/daughter jewelry line and was inspired by the bond and love that I share with my own daughter. Please check out the site and if you are interested I would love to send you something. www.darlingdesignsnewyork.com. All the best!

@aloho808,

Kim did have a cameo in the remake with Dwayne Johnson, she also had a part in Black Snake Moan.

Kim...though Martin is very charming...you didn't match at all. What was "can't remember her name" thinking? She was rude calling you. She now thinks she can talk to you the way your sister does...rude lady! I wouldn't have called her either...I am sure you thanked Martin when he dropped you off. Enough in my book...she would have given you a bad time either way...and you knew it. Loved how you played with the "single guy"!

I remember you on "Nanny & The Professor!" I used to LOVE that show growing up! You are just so beautiful, and have those big soulful eyes~ like you are looking into a persons heart... you were a beautiful child, and you are a beautiful woman. You ex husband must have hurt you bad, you seem so sad a lot. If he didn't know who/what he had, he does not deserve any tears from you.

much love.

Kim, I don't think it would have killed you to pick up the phone and call Martin simply to say thank you for driving you home. You didn't have to marry the man, just make a call. Goodness! And as far as Gary from the grocery store is concerned..............you should have made the call to Martin and kept on calling if this is the calibur or men that you're choosing from. Pitiful!

Kim, when we got to see some clipps of your flims I remembered you. Your very talented. Also I found your jewerly line at a BELK'S Department Store. I bought some for family members for Christmas it's really pretty. Happy Holiday's!!!

Hi Kim. I think you have your priorities right and you are a genuinely nice person. I think you could consider the possiblity of letting Martin know that you like him and appreciate him. Who calls who shouldn't be the issue if you are interested in someone. And he does not look 70. He was very gallant and nice. You should put yourself out there and if it doesn't work out you move on. What's one or two dates....certainly it's not marriage. Go for it. I would love to see you with a partner and happy. you will always have your children, but they won't need you in the way they did when they were little. Keep them close, but forge a life for yourself too. I am with you girl....right where you are. Good luck!

Single Gary from the grocery store???? Exactly what aisle did you pick him up in?

Kim I Love that you and Kyle don't just take it from anyone else! You both stand up for yourselves and each other! Please step up and back Kyle when it comes to Camille and I am sure she will have your back with Taylor!

Will you ever return to acting? Your role in "Black Snake Moan" was small but powerful. I hope you pursue roles like that. Maybe then you could then distance yourself from those other housewives. They aren't your friends.

I wonder if Kim just wasn't feeling a connection to Martin. Maybe, that is why she didnt feel the need to call. Martin didnt call her? Maybe, the feelings or lack of feelngs were mutual.

That's so rude! You looked great Kim!
