Is It Only Me?

I have the best of intentions... really, I do!  I buy them at the store, envisioning how they will be the easiest side dish to pair with my lovingly home cooked meals.  I even use a few of them while my motivation is high.

And then I forget about them.  Closed away in their recommended dark, cool place.


Until one day... a day like yesterday, perhaps...


I think to myself, "Hmmm.  Scalloped potatoes and ham might be a nice dinner.  And I have potatoes!  And onions!"


 Oh no... How long ago did I buy these?


My onions!  Ack!  Hmmm... maybe I can transplant this to the back garden and grow an onion tree?  Onions grow on trees, right?  :-)


My potatoes!  I'm sorry little guys.

I've tried keeping them in a bag out where I can see them.  I've tried only buying a few at a time, but then I always seem to not have them when I need them.

I need help.  And some easy ways to use potatoes.  I'm serious... if you have any, I'm all ears.  And my potatoes are all eyes.  Bwahahahaha!

    Potato pancakes - shred 'em, mix 'em with flour, a dash of baking powder, a couple of eggs, and fry 'em up!
