Second (and those of you who are my friends on Facebook will quite possibly have already read this), here are eight lessons I've learned in the past few minutes.
1. If something smells funny in your house, don't ignore it.
2. If you think a funny smell is your washing machine, but washers don't usually (or...really don't ever) smell like that, don't assume it's still your washer.
3. Potatoes don't like it when you put a warm towel straight out of the dryer on top of them.
4. Correction: most potatoes DO like warm towels. Bad potatoes DO NOT.
5. Bad potatoes make your hands smell TERRIBLE no matter how much you wash them -- your hands -- with lemony antibacterial soap from Bath and Body Works.
6. A rotten potato turns mushy, not green or anything. Who knew.
7. Other potatoes aren't really affected by rotten ones. They just keep on being happy and growing eyes until you use them.
8. Put away your clothes and towels when you take them out of the dryer. Especially if you're tempted to put them on bags of food.
Now, I'm off to wash and scrub and cube the good potatoes, and hope that they don't make my beef stew smell like teenaged boy feet. If so...there will be a lesson #9.
