... she says, having discovered what it was that I left off my "to do" list from before I went to PA last week and it got cold.
The totally-full kitty-litter bucket of fingerling potatoes that was in the attached garage is all ruined. Am boiling up a few to see if they will make edible mashed potatoes or soup-thickener or such, but am not optimistic. Garage max-min thermometer sez it got down to the low 20s F in there, potatoes were frozen solid when I remembered them just now.
Phooey. We'd eaten most of them already, but still, bad Pat.
Check yer stuff. (Also for rot, of course)
(e.t.a. - enh. Tried some. They are flabby and fit only for smashing or mashing, but should be salvageable for that type purpose. I am eating some in my spinach curry right now. I guess this afternoon I'd better make some time for scrubbing and boiling up and mashing a bucketful of potatoes for the freezer)
