One of the few crops that did well this summer on the farm was potatoes. Better tending would have led to an even better crop, but the spuds came out OK. Weather and me working all the damn time combined to fuck most of the other crops, although with actual summer-like weather the last week or so, the tomatoes have rebounded and produced. But I digress.
On Labor Day, I made french fries to go with the dogs, burgers and ribs. I made the fries from potatoes grown on the farm. We grew Yukon golds and some kind of "blue" potato I'd never heard of. I guess they were well-named, because this is what I saw when I sliced one open:
Sorry for the focus issue, but I was stunned by the color of the potato. And they all looked like that, once I sliced them up to make fries:
I had never heard of blue potatoes, so this was pretty shocking to me. As you can see from this picture, though, the blue mostly cooks out, leaving the potatoes looking more or less like your standard white potatoes -- but not entirely:
Anyway, thought I'd share that. My first experience with blue potatoes.
Everything you never wanted to know about the world of temporary attorneys. And maybe more.
Try it!

Labor Day food porn?
Trying to decide whether I should make something food-porn-worthy for Labor Day. Usually just go with dogs, burgers, brats, that kind of thing. Doing ribs this year, as well, but that's been covered. I'll have to give it some thought. Suggestions welcome.
