Happy Saturday to you all out there. Oh the joy of a Friday night when you switch off the alarm clock and wake when it's naturally your time to wake. Bliss. Anyway it's been a really quick week. I had a lovely day off this week and had lunch with the lovely C. We had a giggle and a knatter whilst we hooked away. I will put some pics up later of my finished article which I am loving. I popped into Sainsbury's my way home from work yesterday and found the funniest thing ................
Purple Potatoes!!!!!!!
I had to buy me some of these weird bad boys.
I couldn't wait to see the kids faces when I dished them up for tea.
I took them out the pack......................
They looked a bit beetrootish.
I boiled them up and for extra drama and devilment I thought I'd freak the kids out a bit more so I mashed them. Mmmmwooohahahaha (my evil genius laugh).
Are you ready...............
Are you sure?
Ok then............................................
I know the story goes that carrots were originally purple and that I can accept but purple potatoes just seem wrong. The littlies thought there were lovely! And yes it was all natural.
Anyway I will upload some hooky photos later. My friend N and her littlie are popping up for coffee later so me and N will do some crochet while the kids play and DH sorts out the garage. Rather him then me!
So for now Laters Taters. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You are brave you know for a minute i didn't expect the inner spud to be purple also! Great for halloween hehe For the shock factor alone i think it's brilliant x
ReplyDeleteLove those purple spuds! Must get some myself!
ReplyDeleteGoodness!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have never even heard of potatoes being purple! Did they taste different? I've eaten red skinned ones and they're a bit more bitter than the usual....
it looks so funny having purple on your dinner plate! Glad to hear they were yum!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The kids said they were delish but I have a major phobia of mashed potato so I don't know myself. If you could see me making normal mash you would think I was protecting myself from nuclear fall out, but purple was less traumatic and the verdict was they taste the same as normal ones. xxxx
ReplyDeleteI got a huge kick out of your lavender mashed potatoes! And your cow-induced traffic jam. I am still smiling and had to show my husband your taters and cows. Thanks for the smiles!
ReplyDeleteI have looked for these every time I have been in the store and can't find any! I want weird mash too. I've heard that there are red sprouts too. I'm visualising a multicoloured rainbow dinner. Red sprouts, carrots, sweetcorn, peas, purple mash and aubergines! I can't think of anything blue though.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom used to cook what she called blue potatoes and would always serve them with fresh haddock or cod.
ReplyDeleteWow purple spuds! I think my kids would love purple french fries, purple mashed potatoes, purple baked potatoes. How wonderfully purple.
ReplyDeleteWow! purples potatoes? that's crazy lol
