Call me Ruth...

Tonight I did something I've never done before. We live in the country with many different crops growing around us - raspberries, blueberries, corn and potatoes to name a few. I've noticed in past years that the potato farmers are very quick in taking in their crops - the machine comes one day and by the end of that day their job is done. If you look at the field when they leave, a fair bit of the crop (especially where the machine turns) is laying on the field as waste. It's not worth their time to pick this up and by the end of the next day the plow (or disc?) has put them back into the ground. Well, call me dutch or call me Ruth, I went out there tonight before the plow and picked up a box full of beautiful yellow baby potatoes. Once we've had them for dinner I will report back...maybe share a recipe or two.
