Look at this award! I am a Hot Potato tonight!
I think I should feel pretty lucky about this, shouldn’t I?
Doesn’t everyone love potatoes? Fried, baked, mashed, twice baked, french fried, boiled, potato chips. It is the number one side dish that we all love but are too afraid to eat anymore because of carbs.
I have this thing about carbs. I am a diabetic, so I am supposed to watch my carbs and sugars, and salts, and fats. Geesh! I guess I can eat nothing that is good, but lettuce.
I can remember back to my grandparents and even my husband’s grandparents, and see that their number one side dish was potatoes almost every single day. Plus they had meat, and vegetables and even desserts! I realize they worked harder than we do in the present life, but their foods were without chemicals, while ours are loaded. I am no scientist, but there is some connection here between chemicals, added weight, and cancers.
Oh sorry, I am supposed to be giving thanks for my award. So sorry, got sidetracked, once the mouth started drooling over the thought of nice hot buttery mashed potatoes.
The wonderful thing about this award also is, you don’t have to do anything, just accept it!
No hidden things about you to tell, no certain number of nominees. How much easier could it be?
I am going to nominate a few though, because if you are like me, you enjoy a good potato also!
So, drum roll please, louder, applause, whistles for:

Congratulations, Terry. I must be the odd “man” out on this one because potatoes have never been my favorite vegetable. When I was a child I was so sick of potatoes every night that my mother would cook egg noodles for me sometimes. I do eat potatoes once in a while, but I prefer rice, sweet potatoes and other vegetables.

Hey when things were tight as a single mom, we used a bag of potatoes in many different ways for different meals. We even ate bake potatoes with bacon broken up on them for breakfast. A bag of potatoes could get us through the last days until my payday and grocery buying. I always hid away 5 dollars to get a bag a few days before payday just in case.
