The Wonders of the Potato

Last night, I found one more use for the potato. Yes they make great fries as well as mashed, baked or boiled potatoes. They can be used for art work - cut the potato in half, make a shape, put in the paint and place on the paper - Viola!!! You have art work. Did you know they are great for light bulb removal?? One of my kitchen light bulbs went out and I did the normal thing of removing it. Unfortunately, it broke in half, making it difficult to remove the remainer of the bulb. Melissa, a co-worker, told me about using a potato. Last night, I had her husband Trevor come over to teach me how to turn on my fireplace pilot light and to remove the bulb with a potato - both were sucessful!!! It is great to have neighbours that live close to help me out.

The potato (wrapped in a cloth)was recently a long-lasting hot compress for my eye. It made Robin laugh quite a bit, but it worked!
