NO I'M NOT CRACKING UP TODAY! IT IS "TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY." FILL YOUR MUGS WITH GROG AND GIVE A GOOD CHEER FOR JOEY Z "THE CORSAIR IS HERE", (IT IS A ROMANTIC TERM FOR A PIRATE OR I COULD BE A BUCCANEER, A CARIBBEAN PIRATE). TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I'D RATHER JUST BE JOEY Z. IF YOU ARE INTO PIRATES ENJOY THE DAY AND IF YOU EVER VISIT ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA, THEY HAVE A PIRATE'S CRUISE WITH ALL THE RUM PUNCH YE CAN DRINK. CHECK IT OUT.
CHANGING OVER TO FOOD NOW, SEPTEMBER IS "NATIONAL POTATO MONTH." SO MANY VARIETIES TO CHOOSE FROM. WE HAVE IDAHO, RUSSETS, YUKON GOLDS, SWEET POTATOES, RED-SKINNED, BLUE AND PURPLE, ROUND WHITE AND THE LIST GOES ON. NOW HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR POTATOES IS THE QUESTION? HERE IS JOEY Z'S LIST:
FRENCH FRIES - PREFER STEAK FRIES, CURLY FRIES AND JUST HAD NATHAN'S FROZEN FRIES (GOOOD). PLEASE NO SHOE STRING FRIES! I STILL MISS THOSE FRENCH FRIES ON THE BOARDWALK AT SEASIDE HEIGHTS IN A CONE CUP.
THE BEST WERE GRANNY O'S FRIES SERVED WITH SALMON CAKES ON A FRIDAY NIGHT.
HASH BROWNS WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS OF COURSE.
FRIED POTATOES - MY DAD MADE THE BEST, HE MUST HAVE PASSED HIS SECRET TO ROE BECAUSE HER'S ARE GREAT.
MASH POTATOES WITH LOADS OF GRAVY AND A FEW LUMPS.
SWEET POTATOES ON THANKSGIVING ONLY.
POTATO SALAD - I HAVEN'T FOUND A GREAT ONE SINCE MOM AND GRANNY PASSED AWAY, BUT MY POLISH FRIEND DANUTA MADE ME SEE THE LIGHT OF THE POTATO AGAIN WITH HERS. ALL I CAN SAY IS, "DOBRE PANI."
LAST BUT NOT LEAST A GOOD BAKED POTATO WITH SOUR CREAM.
I GAVE YOU MY FAVORITES, COME ON AND GIVE ME YOURS. FOR THE REST OF THE DAY TALK LIKE A PIRATE AND EAT POTATOES. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
