Ugh ... not a cut one I hope. A cut spud can be awful starchy and messy.

Good point, Mort. I always use the full uncut version.

Now why did not my father think of that?? A two week old onion in his socks would have made his feet smell like febreeze.

You think I joke about these things? His feet reflected his soul-a stench.

I believe it. Anytime my son's uncle would come and visit at our get-togethers at grandma's house, we would pray he wouldn't take his shoes off. Unfortunately, he usually did and the smell was enough to literally make you gag.
