I didn't have the heart to cut up this siamese potato yesterday,
and add it to the crock pot along with the lamb shoulder roast.



I just couldn't do it.

uncle phil

She suggested testicular rather than peniscular, not be confused with peninsular.

Reminds me of an old lady in tight red pants bent over.

BadNick

If you slice it very thin, longitudinally in the plane of the photo, then deep fry the slices into potato chips, I think the chips mighty look like butterflies...maybe flench flies?

It does have a rustic beauty, but I would eat it and grow some more.

Ourcrazymodern?

I'll have the testcular potato, please, with cheese and onions.

I was able to coax the potato to turn around and face the camera.



Prince has the right idea.
He's playing with it on the floor.

BadNick

My potato, who I affectionately call "p-ditty", was looking over my shoulder as I opened this thread and now that it's eyes have gazed upon the glorious beauty of ring's potato, it has been in a daze of love ever since.

girldetective

Yours is more peniscular
and testicular at the same time.
