I just found this interesting post about blue potatoes... in Ireland.

Msgoogle, I occasionally feel un-inspired as well, or just tired…it always helps to peak around to see what others are eating.

Thanks for the inspiration! I’ve been in a cooking rut lately, doing more take-out than cooking. Your clam bake looked amazing.

PureLilyliving, we’ll hope to come visit down South some day and we’ll do some cookin’ together.

Knife, those blue potatoes are naturally that color. Gorgeous huh?

Thanks Knife, these photos were taken with the new SLR. Not sure what you mean by how come blue potatoes? but I think they are a little sweeter and I just loved colored stuff when it’s not artificially colored.

Also, I am a former gymnast, figure skater, etc. I was recounting my life-long affiliation to sports, but I am now currently training for a triathlon.

Just to give everyone an idea of the amount of food the five of us plowed through… it was roughly 7lbs of lobster, 3lbs of mahogany clams, 2lbs of mussels, 4 ears of corn, 1 huge onion, 1lb of chorizo, and 3lbs (if I recall correctly) of mixed potatoes. Oh, plus about 3/4 of a french bread and two lemons. We also snacked on some shrimp dim sum while cooking. I’d guess it was about 18lbs of food. Of course at least some of that was shell…

How sweet of him to make such an awesome dinner! Was that just for the two of you? Well, I shouldn’t talk – my hubby and I would clear that off in no time!
