That's a very "a-peeling" article!

Dea, I love the imagination and sense of play that you bring to the kitchen, to your garden, and to DG! That 'tater mushroom is just too funny... I think I'll get out my apple peeling gizmo before apple season. And we just picked up a deep fryer (just in case we get inspired thataway for the next family gathering), so LMK if you want to borrow it! :-)
"A-peeling," indeed! LOL

Where do I get one of those peelers? I want 'tater 'shrooms too! This could really take off for you, Dea! Kind of like chicken wings and baby carrots made someone rich.
Glad it's almost lunchtime. Your fun article made me hungry. I didn't grow potatoes this year, but right now I'm wishing I would have. Love your style!

I didn't (can't) grow any either....but now I sure wish I had! I've got one of those apple peeling thingy's and I'm gonna try a tater in it. What a great idea! Your articles are so much fun to read , Dea.

Thanks all - we do have as much fun as possible in our gardens and in the kitchen! Being one of 9 kids, we were constantly told not to play with our food.....I bucked :)

Oh my ! great idea - get that apple peeler down off the top shelf and use it on the taters!

Posted by Dea (from Frederick, MD) on August 11, 2007 at 7:13 PM:
Use it on your carrots too folks - you get a gorgeous shredded carrot salad and although I can't post a pic here, what you have left is a very long stem with a top. Just do a few cuts and you've got the prettiest carrot flowers :)

Wonder how it would work on beets?

Posted by Dea (from Frederick, MD) on August 11, 2007 at 7:31 PM:
Fantastic! Raw of course :)
Oh, and try cabbage and taro root and onions and celiaric basically any other root veggie. Enjoy the possibilities !!
