A fair number of supermarkets will sell blue potato chips if you find the Terra chips in the chip aisle. Blue and purple potatoes are mostly the same thing and/or similar cultivars, as far as I can tell? I dunno. I'm not a potato farmer.
Uhm... I cooked them all the same length of time, but the purples came out firmer and crisper in texture. They mostly taste about the same, to me? Just less... bland and blah than white potatoes.
Mostly, I think they're prettier than white potatoes, and I like pretty food. >_>
For lunch, I decided to fry up a nice duck egg. Duck eggs seem to have a somewhat thicker shell than chicken eggs and are much more variable in size. Also, their eggs are mottled and come in pastel colours. Cracking it open took two good whacks against the side of a bowl. The egg 'white' was a pale, pale pink, and the egg yolk was a bold, vibrant, sunny yellow-orange. Transformer fans would complain and call it neon and Playskool, seething about how G1 chicken eggs have much more subdued coloured yolks than these Armada duck eggs.
You did such an awesome job on the presentation of the egg!
Did you point out that you never got the bread? Please don't tell me you had to pay for it. I've been told to shush by Lyz and my parents when I point out they have failed basic requests in meals. They seem to do it all the time with me. Really basic stuff like "can you leave the tomatoes out of my salad, please" or "Can I have a juice in a tall glass". I don't mind if one hiccup happens, but it does get annoying when the same people continually make a hash of things, and they try and shush me whenever I even point out matter-of-factly that what I got wasn't what I ordered. I wasn't even allowed to be annoyed when one place completely forgot to order my food and they'd already a third of the way through their meals.
Also: NEVER forget how important laughter is. :D How did you win the book?
The bread was included as a side with the meal. Now, usually, I would point it out, but I was pretty full. I guess that I could have pointed it out, taken the bread home, and eaten it later?
...and I'm sorry about your family. Asking for what the menu says is included isn't wrong at all or asking for something to be left out or whatnot.
