I have the mug that was on my grandmother's shelf when I was 4. I never use it, but I'm not sure why. Somehow the fear of breaking it trumps my desire to use it. Plus, it does not fit in the color scheme.
Thinking about this stuff forces me to recognize my quirkier foibles. For instance, there are no labels visible in my kitchen. Everything is in glass canisters. All my plates are either Crate & Barrel white (very thick and sturdy) or green accents. No patterns at all. I could never imagine committing to a pattern.
Gosh, I have a lot of inherited stuff. Which I don't mind. I love the wooden potato masher my great-grandfather made. It's great for whacking a spud, I tell you what.
Hey all, food question. Is it possible for one's husband to buy sweet potatoes, and the potatoes in question to look exactly like large Idaho potatoes (light brown with rounded, instead of pointy, ends) and for the suspicious potatoes to be sweet potatoes? I could cut one up to find out but I don't want to.
I doubt it. Those sound like potato potatoes to me.
I've never seen a stealth sweet potato, bon. I think your husband's hand fell into the wrong bin...or someone pulled a potato prank on him.
Just scratch one, you don't actually have to cut into it to see the color of the flesh.
Shouldn't sweet potatoes and regular potatoes smell different?
OK guys, since Hil threw a monkey wrench re: yams, I sliced one open. It's white. I'm gonna assume it's a common potato.
FTR it's pretty easy for Bob to have grabbed a bunch of the wrong potato without being tricked. You could be the best philosophical historian your dissertation adviser has ever seen and be frequently fooled by normal grocery store sign placement. It's A Thing.
So, food question. What's a good make-ahead dish for about 3 lbs of potatoes?
eta: I think it'll be twice-baked
Any chance they are Japanese sweet potatoes? They are white inside.

My go-to with spuds? Spanish tortilla! You'll need eggs, and anything else lying around the fridge you might throw into an omelet. (Cheese, ham, herbs, mushrooms etc.)
Anybody here a fan of Threadless?
Shameless pimping of my niece!
