Breakfast! This is another don’t adjust your monitor type meals. Yes, those are potatoes, and yes, they’re sort of a purplish blue. AND, I grew them myself! I’d always wanted to try potatoes in the garden, but we have really terrible clay-filled soil and it didn’t seem like they’d work given the soil we have (we’re working on that, tilling in compost every year, but it takes time). I found something online this year about planting potatoes in big barrels or planters, so I gave that a go. Unfortunately, I think a got a very late start with them, so I only got two smallish potatoes (plus two wee little potatoes I’m using as ‘seeds’ for next year) and they amounted to what’s on the plate. They’re blue potatoes, which is what makes them so neat. They seem to have a higher starch content and are a little firmer than regular potatoes, but cook up just yummy as home fries. There’s also sausage and scrambled eggs, and since I slept in a little this morning, it ended up being a perfectly sized plate for brunch. The mug has Lemon Gingersnap tea in it to finish off the meal.
