Potatoes and unusual smells!!!

Occasionally I ask myself, 'are you 50+ or a mere teen?' This is often when I have done something really REALLY dumb! [see what I think of teens? oh dear!] Anyway, this has to do with the afore mentioned potatoes. About a week ago Bryon and I went shopping with Bre's money, [I LOVE when that happens:] we picked up what WE wanted and also most of the stuff on her list. One of the things on her list was red potatoes. They were accidently left in the car. It has been 'bittery cold' [at least for US!] so 'no problem!' A coulpe of days ago I remember them so I take them out and sit them on the kitchen table where they have remained until this morning. I pick them up to 'finallly' put them away. The bag is dripping????  What???? Oh yeah, if you FREEZE potatoes and then thaw them, guess what? I can't believe I did that! This would also explain the lovely smell I've been trying to mask with 'scented' candles. Who do I know that would pull this stunt? Oh my, NO ONE! Needless to say, I owe Bre a bag of potatoes. Happy Thursday all and remember, DON'T FREEZE THOSE POTATOES!

Wendy, this is something I accidentally did when we brought the bag of potatoes I bought for Christmas dinner in Salt Lake home to St. George. We didn't leave them in the car, but they froze all the same and 3 days later I was running through the house trying to find that horrible smell. I was horrified when I did and fortunately, Kork's cute boyfriend got those babies out of the house! Don't be too hard on yourself or teenagers, potatoes are just tempermental!
