Them is Taters

Biguns!

For the past few years I have been having issues with the quality of potatoes available in the Seattle area. In a city so close to the greatest potato-growing areas in the world in Washington and Idaho I felt like the quality spuds were going elsewhere and that we were getting stuck with shoddy selenium-soaked subpar tubers with brown spots.

Well no more!

Recently the much-maligned US Foods restaurant supply store offered up 50 pound sacks of pristine russet earth apples for ten dollars, none of which ended up weighing less than a pound.

Also picked up a sack of onions for the same price. Obviously, our family will not be able to use all these before they start to turn, so the plan is to donate some to the food banks.
