William is right. I wash my potatoes before storing them in the fridge.

As a sidenote, I do not wash blueberries I've picked in the field before storing them in the fridge or freezer. There is a natural coating on them that helps preserve them. I just wash them before using in a recipe or eating.

Humidity is 52% outside, it used to be one could keep cool using a swamp cooler here, now it's a/c, since the humidity outside was lower before 2011, the humidity inside is 57%, if I used the swamp cooler, the humidity inside would grow to somewhere between 70-75%, which I've seen happen, I'd rather be comfortable, than not.

Since I'm making our own pizza tonight, and we like finely ground sausage, I discovered a way to do it in my mother's 50 year old Osterizer Imperial VIII electric blender.

I cooked the sausage yesterday, and roughly broke it up into small chunks, and then froze it all. The blender doesn't get stuck on frozen chunks of sausage like it did when the sausage was freshly cooked.

There's no way I'm putting my sausage anywhere near a blender. :-)

What?

Or bbq in the nude. What's this extra sausage on the grill?

Just had some "freeze dried" strawberries and banana slices.
The strawberries were a bit crunchy like popcorn. The taste was very good.
The bananas were also good but got a little mushy if not swallowed promptly.

I've had banana chips, but never freeze dried bananas. I recently bought freeze dried
strawberries and mixed them into some oatmeal. It tasted okay, but not as good as I'd
hoped. I suppose you could do the same with the bananas.

Why not fresh strawberries in the oatmeal? Because I don't eat it that often and don't
go shopping very often, so the freeze dried fruit lasts longer.

A frozen banana with chocolate magic shell on top is very good.

Indeed. Or just a banana dipped in chocolate sauce. (Which I confess I have done.)

Speaking of bananas, how much per pound are they where you live? They used to be 29 cents a pound for a long time here, but my most recent purchase was 49 cents/pound.

Usually around $0.59¢.

Still one of nature's cheapest commodities in the grand scheme of things.

Lucky you.
Here bananas costs 17.9 crowns/kg when cheap.
That's about 90 cents/pound.
On the other hand, bananas don't grow on trees here.

Well, we import ours, too. Not really sure from where, but someplace tropical.

Yes. From the Dominican Republic most likely.
From the same country the bananas came from I bought today.

Bananas in California in a coastal box canyon as late as 2002, the guy had 200 acres of fruit up until 1995, until a landslide took it all out...

I think I'll make some more spaghetti, why?

Omega fatty acids are in the Gorton fish fillets, and is on the prohibited list before My surgery.
