Remember the weird spots in the potatoes a few years ago making them nearly
inedible! Well... It's back. Twice I bought a bag of small red potatoes
at Target. Once they sprouted almost immediately and I wound up tossing
them out. After getting very bad stomach pains following the trimming of
sprouts and eating the potatoes, never again.

I bought a second bag that looked good and vowed to use them quickly. And
some were beginning to sprout. Just tiny sprouts. Some were also slightly
mushy feeling. But I only needed a few to roast with some onions. However,
in cutting the seemingly good ones open, many had those weird brown/black
spots inside like they did a few years ago. Not nearly as bad as in the
past though. I was able to trim around and find enough good ones for
tomorrow's meal..

And before anyone jumps on me for cooking ahead... I have to now with my
husband's schedule. He has to eat before it is our normal dinner time which
would be 6:00 p.m. or later.

Sounds like a police matter to me.

Not so much a police matter as a job for a suitable piece of 2x4.

No doubt. I've been peeling and cooking potatoes for over 30 years and I can't figure out what the hell she's yammering about. Potatoes sprout and are soft? You know, you can feel them in the bag before you buy them. You can also sniff the bag and your nose will tell you if they are any good or not. As for the nonsense about having very bad stomach pains after eating potatoes from trimming off the eyes then eating the potatoes, that's just utter rubbish.

If this nutjob would get the hell off of the computer and do the job of a homemaker, all of these made-up *problems* of hers would go away.

They weren't that way when I bought them. Obviously I would not have bought
them that way.

Have your home checked for Radon gas.
That would explain a LOT.

Of course you bought them that way, potatoes don't suddenly go bad in
one day... and the spuds on sale are always of poor quality, that's
why they are on sale... and some stores always sell Seconds of all
their produce.

They *didn't* go bad in a day. I had them for more than a day. And I have
no problem eating the eyes. It was someone here that posted a link about
not eating potatoes that have sprouted. I have eaten sprouted potatoes in
the past with no problems. I must have gotten lucky there.

But I also mentioned the brown/black spots. On the *inside*. Most of the
potatoes I got a few years ago were that way.

I was wondering what temperature they are stored at. The warmer it
is, the faster they sprout. You said you're in a warm spell with no
air conditioner.

That was an awful year. I'd buy what looked like a great potato (or
bag of them) on the outside, cut it open only to find the center was
hollow and black. I don't know what the blight was, but it was nasty.

Yes. These were like this but the spots were closer to the outside. Not
the very center. Probably had something to do with the heat and lack of
water.

I am currently keeping them in the garage. So it was pretty warm out there.
Our temps have dropped to the 50's and 60's now.

30 years?? Guess you're not going to get paroled are ya?

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

I think I understand what you're referring to about getting sick from
some potatoes. It is when the flesh under the skin starts turning green.

I know not to eat green. These were not green. Just badly sprouted.

Those black spots are a potato disease... not harmful but not
appetizing... typically those go to livestock food processors but some
markets will sell them at low sale prices.

Yes. I just hope that they don't continue.
