Potatoes.
I was peeling potatoes last night and my mind drifted into strange channels. I started wondering a) just how many potatoes I'd peeled in my life; b) just how many potatoes I'd eaten in my life; c) just how many potato dishes I'd eaten/prepared; d) just how many potato dishes there are. (perhaps I've cooked dinner just a few too many nights lately, and Thomas needs to take me out to eat?) This intriguing subject hovered on my brain all evening. I think the only way to get it out of my mind is to write about it. So I am.
Following are a few polls, and I would appreciate it if you would cast a vote in each of them. It's not important, and no presidential hopeful will eagerly cull the results, but still, it is a poll. You know how much you enjoy doing polls. And it isn't as if you have better things to do with your day, right?
Potato Poll # 1
*3 or more times a week, for me
Potato Poll # 2
*I would have to say mashed potatoes is consistently my favorite dish, but I do love a good hash brown casserole!
Potato Poll # 3
*No, but I do tend toward being a computer-desk potato
Potato Poll # 4
*Usually with a paring knife, although I'm pretty fast with a potato peeler (for some reason I prefer the knife).
Potato Poll # 5
*Yes, I have, and with a REAL potato sack.
I could probably go on and on, but I really want you to come back to my journal someday, so I won't. Please feel free to leave any potato-related comment you would like, though.
Thank you.

I hate to think about it lol! One - three times per week. Two - potato salad. Three - Computer Potato. Four - With a peeler. Five - yes when I was very little and at school. Spuds rule!

I can't believe you thought of so many different polls about potatoes, LOL! I was just writing my bean throwing entry -- Guess what? The soup has whole potaotes and there's potato dumplings too. After this entry I now feel overwhelmed by potatoes too! They are taking over the world! ;-)
thanks for the polls!

I've never met a potato that I didn't like. Hey, maybe that's why I like vodka? hmmmmmmmmm.............never thought of that before. Anne
I couldn't think of a way I don't like potatoes. Nor anyway I really prefer. They are all sssooo good in the right circumstance. But I voted for hash browns, because when they are done really well, I could eat a pound of them. - Barbara
Liked the polls and answered each one because I love potatoes cooked anyway. My Mama use to call them Irish potatoes too and I don't know why. Paula
This is fun!! I have really enjoyed the potato series!!! You write so well!! Very entertaining and interesting!! I read the whole series backwards though. LOL. My favorite paragraph is the first one in this entry, about how many potatoes you've peeled, eaten, cooked, LOL. I can so relate. Some of my ancestors came over during the potato famine. I just remember my mom telling me that often. Hugs,

I liked your poll, it was fun and interesting to see how others voted. Speaking of which I am having a loaded baked potato tonight yumm!

My dad used to plant a big patch of potatoes and I hated the job of picking up potatoes but I was sure glad I had not been raised in Idaho. Have you eaten Idaho baking potatoes. Well, I once lived 20 miles from the Idaho border and kids used to go get job picking up potatoes in these huge potato fields. They also raised potatoes in a town not far from where I lived in southern Utah and would put out the call for potato picker uppers. But I never answered that from anyone but my dad. Gerry
you know..i have 30 pounds of white potatoes in the kitchen, they were on sale at walmart...
