I was the provider of musical ambiance at a Farmer's Market where I was offered some free produce from one of the farmers (who apparently enjoyed my playing) so I grabbed some red Spring Onions and a couple of bunches of nice luxuriantly leaved BEETS.
While searching among a jumble of small bags seeking possible Pickling Spices, I happened to glance at a lower basket in the wire drawer cabinet.
There I saw some quite robustly sprouted and shriveled potatoes.
I knew I had to photograph them and share them with fellow devotees of the Truly Gnarly (and, of course, Towels), (oh, and um, potatoes, I guess).

Look at all them pretty lizards on them taters.
Sharon- I may not know from "Art", but I know what I like. ;o)
I've fallen down the Muggle rabbit hole =O
Where's my purple pill? =D
"If you weren't mad you wouldn't be here".
o, my invisibility p***y powers have been compromised! =O
I'll never tell.
Mugg, I like them (I mean the pictures, though I also like potatoes). Especially the one under where it says "Couch Potato". Man I love this upgrade!
Mugg, I like them (I mean the pictures, though I also like potatoes). Especially the one under where it says Couch Potato. Is this better?
Six of one, half a dozen of the other. ;o)
You ought to makes some prints and sell them at the next farmer's market.
Might be worth a try. <g>
Excellent! Thank you for submitting to Picture of Towels.
(Mmm...BEETS. Is that why you were looking for pickling spices?)
I always have potatoes like that lying around. I didn't realize all the Art I had here!
Well, now you do, darlin'. ;o)
Yep! I just made a large jar of pickled beets, and then decided to do the red Spring Onions too.
I had some extra pickling vinegar left so I cooked the beet greens in it.
Yummy!
I have seen their siblings and they live at my house.
When you see them break it to them gently that their brothers over here got composted.
lol too cute, love the top knot trio~ =)
mmm I love pickled beets.. mmm and then hard boils some eggs and soak them in the beet juice.. oh my they are so good.
Thanks Melanie. Some people would just have chucked these taters in the trash, but they just seemed 'destined' to be photographed and shared.
Wow! I definitely will be trying that 'red pickled egg' idea. Thanks, I never would've thought of that.
Darling spud shots...
Food Art Images only accepts Food Art Images...not articles. But I'm glad that I got to read the article as a result of your submitting it to the group. Your creativity is endless!
Thanks Sweetie, even though you just gave me a TKO.
Does that mean a True Kiss Off? Just pick your favorite spud and post the photo only...I'll feature it in Food Art Images Only! Imagine...a featured photo!
No, it means "Technical" Knock Out.
I'll do as you say, though. Tomorrow.
Mr. Potato Head's ugly sisters? I think they are beautiful, but kids don't try this at home! Never eat spuds with studs or green things.
They be poisonous.
Got a compost pile? Throw those taters on it and cover 'em with leaves and what not, and they'll grow you a whole treasure of new potatoes. FUN to dig them up.
Wonderful! Thanks for submitting to Cookin' with Kitteh!
...or rather, Kitteh's Garden Blog
Creative, funny and a bit scary! They would make great dieter's refrigerators magnets to discourage the ingestion of carbs! Think you might be on to something here, Mugg!
I'd need a pretty strong magnet! ;o)
