Yeah, but I made an awesome soup for supper. Celery, carrots, ham, a small sweet potato, onion, garlic (almost too much) some 1% milk and fat free cream cheese. It was very thick, filling soup. Shared with my neighbor, who proclaimed it "good" although she generally says that about anything I take over for her to eat.
I don't buy potatoes very often, typically, if I buy 5 lbs, I end up having them long enough that the last pound or two has gone wrinkly and grown sprouts but I hate seeing good stuff wasted so I'm a sucker when it is a take some or it gets tossed situation. Just have to limit how much of it I eat in a day. I DID NOT however bring home any of the bread rolls they had made for the dinner, even though they looked quite lovely. Didn't even eat one of the REALLY beautiful cinnamon rolls they also had made, although I could have been convinced to bring one home if the right moment had come up.

LOL Dot manages her weight without being vegan, which may be due or partly due to luck having a body that efficiently processes animal products, or she may have an iron will. Either way she is successful at controlling weight.

I love bread, especially when I make it. Although, bread is easy to overeat.

@EdEarl Indeed....breads and potatoes are very rare treats for me. I have 3 slices left in the fridge...I do one slice of open PB and J on rare occasions. I just took a few leftover Thanksgiving frozen containers and pulled out the potatoes...and put them down the drain....I don't love them enough to want my system to have that nearly pure starch....

@Robecology potatoes have more nutrients than bread, and fewer calories, unless potatoes are loaded with fat or oil. I know, you are low carb.

@EdEarl That depends on lots of factors. You can make a very nutrient dense or carb-dense bread...potatoes are scientifically almost 100% C12H22O11...starch. They're boring without spices, butter, creams, etc. Potato SKINS have some decent nutrients, fiber, etc. If I indulge myself with a (carb dense) bagel or English muffin...I take the time to thin-cut them; essentially making four slices out of each.

@Robecology Carb density is not something I watch closely; calories are mt enemy.
