That meme about replacing potato chips with a grapefruit really made me laugh!

Bilbo said...

Since I'm of eastern European heritage, I worship both the potato and the cabbage. And the butter that completes both.

Two or three times a week they are part of my life.

Liz Hinds said...

I love potatoes in all shapes and forms.

Tom said...

Bob said...

Add my name to the list of Irish Guacamole people.
And poor Mr. Potato Head!!

Boud said...

Have you seen the cartoon with the potato couple about to watch Mash? She's saying "hold me"!

Travel said...

Lots of love and lots of butter.

Dida said...

Haha, the meme is funny! But I love potatoes, especially making them into chips and fries. Instead of buying processed food, I prefer preparing them myself.

Pixie said...

I love that last photo, so sweet.

One page at a time... LOL.
My wife calls herself A Potato Whore; if it's potato, she'll eat it.

I've never met a potato I didn't like.

"Bad news soldier..."
I recently heard an old quote of Dolly Parton's saying that potatoes had been the reason every diet she'd ever been on had failed.
What a great vegetable it is.

RedPat said...

These are wonderful. Love the Irish guac, Debra.

Mistress Maddie said...

The mash unit???? Sigghhhhhh...... but let's not forget about Vodka!!!!!

DB Stewart said...

Irish guacamole, ha!

Mr. Shife said...

Truly doing the Lord's work honoring the noble spud! Calling mashed potatoes "Irish guacamole" killed me, and swapping out potato chips for a grapefruit is grounds for immediate rebellion. Long live the potato, Debra!

Janie Junebug said...

Yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy and it makes me feel so good, yeah!

Love,
Janie

I love a spud! 'Roast 'em, boil 'em, stick 'em in a stew..'
The best potatoes I have ever eaten were in Ireland. They fear no butter. Potato Champion is heaven on a plate.

Deedles said...

Potato guacamole, yum! I'm picturing it with baked potato skins on the side as dippers. I'm also very hungry now.

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

LOL The kitten 😸 is so cute. These are great, Debra. Thanks 😊 🫂

Bilbo said...

Thank you for your comment on my novel on AO3! Glad you enjoyed it!

Gill - That British Woman said...

potatoes always taste better with a pile of butter on them!!! I'm originally from the UK, so it must be true...LOL

Yorkshire Pudding said...

It is hard to envisage a world in which there are no potatoes to eat. They are so adaptable. You can do anything with potatoes - including hurling them at Donald Potato's head.

River said...

I LOOOOVE potatoes and will be having roasted ones tonight.

Quinley said...

The made with love comic made me laugh-- butter does make everything taste good. XD

The first one is SG.
I prefer eating my potatoes one page at a time.
Grapefruit comparison had me reading it to SG.

Ol'Buzzard said...

Why ruin a potato with sour cream? Just add more butter.

Potatoes are joy on a plate..

Replacing your potato chips with grapefruit as a snack you can lose up to 90% of what little joy you still have left in your life. - I live by this mantra.
