I had high hopes for that internship with Martha Stewart, too
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 5:38AM Housekeeping 101: Try to recall that you've left root vegetables hidden under some dish towels in a drawer since last August. Just TRY. Because otherwise they might become sentient and attempt to take over the house.
Or at least attack your dish towels.
It's surprising, but nobody ever comes over for lunch.

plant them and call them "starters"
Whoa. Point taken. Both your August potatoes and lunch at your house...
Whoa!! After I stopped being scared I laughed. My husband (Mr. Olfactory) would have sniffed out those root veggies).
ha! that's too funny :D
Everytime I laugh at your blogs I'm required to explain it to The Husband...he laughed too. Now I know how to start some veggies! Just leave em laying around somewhere until something grabs my foot!
haha! Thats great and perfect timing. I opened my rotteserrie last night and found some potatoes i had left there all sprouted, hubby laughed at me then opened another cabinet that had potatoes growing just outta my line of sight! I told him i was gonna plant em! I wish I would have grabbed my camera although they are still there so I may take pics tonight to share with ya! I feel ya
That's horrifying. I think I'm actually scared of it.
Funny stuff
You got them before they could take over. If they start moving about on their own then you can worry.
I am totally scared of that it. Even after you explained what it was I am staring at it.
Ewwww but SO funny! You totally need to plant those suckers.
They didn't stink? Ewww. Every time I've had an old potatoe somewhere they really stunk. Bad. Ewwww.
Omg! That is gross and funny!
Does this mean we have to start calling you the "Un-farmer"?
I read somewhere recently that if you buy potatoes at the market that they couldn't grow more potatoes because of all the engineering. Apparently, the article was full of krappe, because you have a new crop ready to plant right there. Now I feel better.
AAHHH! I've been obsessing with this game called Plants Vs. Zombies, and those are exactly what I need to fight me some zombies!
Just tell people it was a science experiment.
Eeew. That looks like scenes from a low budget horror movie! Thanks for the laugh.
LOL! Now that is impressive.
Wowzers!! They were taking over your kitchen...next stop would have been the house. Good thing you caught them!! Now what's for dinner?

You could plant them in the ground and pretend you did it on purpose...
How very appropriate for all us potato munchers today :o) Plant 'em and see what happens!
Why are you hiding potatoes under dish towels in drawer?
ohmy ... i can honestly say that i have never seen anything quite like that.
and it's not because i'm all hoity-toity. i just don't buy real potatoes. because they WOULD end up like that.
Take-out!!
That's impressive.
So... did you cook them or plant them?
