Potatoes are so good. I eat them at least three times a week; I could never be one of those low-carb people. I love all varieties, but the red potato is my favorite. Yesterday I stopped at Briley's (a local family farm that has a stand within walking distance of my house) and they had a whole basket of fresh baby ones so I bought a bunch of them to go with our brunch today. They were soooooo yummy. First, I boiled them whole for 21 minutes, then quartered and fried them in just a little bit of olive oil and butter (real butter. count me out of the low-fat crowd too) over medium-high heat, skin side down for 6 minutes, then flipping for the next 6 minutes until they were golden all over then seasoned them with sea salt, crushed red pepper and fresh flat-leaf parsley. Ohhh they were good. I also made a veggie omelet, cinnamon rolls and sliced up some fresh peaches. My son and I both ate too much.
I have the whole day to myself and I am enjoying it. I had yesterday to myself for the most part as well, but I did have a morning meeting, then had housework to do. And since there was a game going on, I also took a walk down 14th to sell the twentysomeodd purple and gold bandanas I had left to enthusiastic Pirate fans. I tied one around Zeke's neck and they sold out in like 10 minutes. No, I did not get a permit. I believe in breaking laws that are stupid.
I know, bad, bad, bad girl.
