I was going through some old farm pictures and found this one. It is hard to judge the size, but the caption says 1909; 30 potatoes weighing 60 pounds, Field 1. That means each potato averaged 2 pounds. That is pretty impressive. They did not just take photos of potatoes in 1919 for no reason. This was my Great, Great Step-Grandfather, and potatoes were his life.

Half a pound of butter and a healthy handful of grated cheese and .........my mouth is watering already!
Can't  think why I can't  lose weight....

To lead a tranquil life, mind your own business and work with your hands.

 
Blueberry pie is best when it is firm and you can hold in your hand. Smell it. And smell this tiny ad:
