I hope one of the potato dishes are made with an Idaho potato. French fries, mashed potatoes, potatoes au gratin, hash, potato chips -- got to have an Idaho potato. The best way to eat an Idaho potato is to run into the road after a potato truck has driven by and grab any that have fallen!

Hahah ... Ok, seriously, my mom grew up just outside of San Francisco. We used to go visit family there and would pick up artichokes that fell off the back of the trucks. Those were some of the best artichokes ever!

As a non-American, but a visitor on several occasions, I thought I'd see how many I've eaten. Came to only 8 out of the 100.

LOL, have no idea why I didn't realize that. Must have just had bread on the brain. But that is still a yes.

Yummy! I notice there aren't any picky eaters around here. It seems like it might be hard to be overweight and be a picky eater.
