Monday afternoon I was taking my 87th cat nap of the day when
all of a sudden I hear a kerplunk on the table.
Mom was chattering away about what a find she had and how it was a happy accident yada yada yada! So I decided to
pop up for a look-see, per chance it was FOR ME
OMCs it wasn't for me but it did smell most interesting
and well you know when the moms are excited it is contagious.
I'll let mom tell you about the Happy Accident....
Mom here: Last week in the produce area of the grocery store I 'meant' to buy a 3 lb bag of fresh *new taters (*that is what we call red 'taters here in the South). Monday night as I was preparing to cook them, I noticed I had something new. Steamables tripled washed and ready to cook in the bag in the microwave in 8 minutes. I normally cook new 'taters in my pressure cooker. However, as hot as it was I thought what the heck. I was just a tad skeptical they would cook in 8 minutes because all of the taters were not the same size. Color me surprised, when after 8 minutes, I took them out of the microwave let them sit for 1 minute, cut open the bag to find they were completely done.
AND DELICIOUS exactly enough for 2 piggies like
Madi's peeps.
Yep the bag was right up in the left hand corner is says
side delights!! I will be buying these jewels AGAIN!!
That is a find....especially for very hot weather.
ReplyDeleteI'd eat 'em. Especially with the chicken fat that was rendered from the skin appetizers from my party!
ReplyDeleteI bet I'd eat em!
ReplyDeleteOur Mommy just loves happy accidents like this one!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!
XOXO from your besties.
please don't laugh, but we never saw such magic taters... that's a revolution, when you can cook it in a bag... and they are ready to eat... no dirty paws, no handling with a steamer pot.... what an invention... please give that guy who had this idea the noble prize... and the moneeeh... he deserved it!

ReplyDeleteMom always calls them New Potatoes too...um....like she would buy OLD potatoes? Humans are strange!! We think that was a happy accident. Mom is going to try them.

i cook my 'new taters' in the microwave, i just buy the little bag dump in a plate, cover with paper towel and cook 8 minutes. i have not seen these here, what a happy accident. also if you take the little red or brown small taters, cut in half and lay them cut side down, and nuke they cook really fast depending on how many you use. i also bake sweet potato and the big irish tater wrapped in paper towel. poke a fork in the tater, wrap it and nuke it 8 or 9 minutes
ReplyDeleteglad they were tasty

That is impressive to cook new potatoes in only 8 minutes! Perfect for a hot day where you don't want to make the kitchen hotter!

Easy peasy! My Mom says things are getting EASIER in the kitchen when it comes to cookin' because of things like THESE and the other "steamable" veggies in bags....all set to go....wham, bam, thank you SAM!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
I am glad you liked them, anything quick and tasty is good. I admire you for using a pressure cooker ever- I am afraid of them.
ReplyDeleteMommy says yummy but I can't have them yet. I hope I can try them sometime.
ReplyDeleteZiggy Out!!
We love seeing you peek your head from under the table. It sure is funny how such a simple thing as easy to fix taters can make the peeps all giddy. BOL!
ReplyDeleteThey're making foods easier and easier for humans. Maybe one day they'll make cans of food that us cats can open ourselves. :)
ReplyDeleteHowdy Mates. Mmmmm, anything that is quick and easy is a bonus for sure. Glad they were yummy. Have a purrfect weekend. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteMom LOVES red taters butt sadly for her, she has to prepare them the old fashioned way *BOL*
