Idaho? No Udaho!

Real Food, Uncensored & Out of Control!

The Post Foodgoat Never Meant You to See! Hidden in the Blogger drafts since 2000, made when he was first trying to break into the blogging business, now made public!

The Honorable Larry E. Craig, duly elected Senator of Idaho, once submitted the following recipe for Super Tubers (using, of course, the Idaho potato) to the Congress Cooks! website. Since the pizza delivery girl never showed up, Foodgoat whips up a couple of Super Tubers.


After washing and drying a couple of dirty potatos, Foodgoat cored the potato center, end to end, with an apple corer.

A generous rubbing of olive oil, along with nonstop giggling, helped stick a big hot dog all the way into the hole.

After baking in a preheated 325 degree oven for approximately one hour (or until the potato was fork tender), we topped the Tuber turned Super Tuber off with a sprinkling of bacon for good measure.

Idaho? Udaho? Actually, It's the Senator


Foodgoat and I were snickering yesterday over the latest hypocritical denials and disavowals from Senator Larry "I am not gay" Craig regarding his encounter with an undercover policeman in a Minneapolis airport bathroom, when suddenly we remembered why his name was familiar:

Senator Larry Craig ... from Idaho ... the one with the Super Tuber recipe?!? The hot dog-in-a-potato recipe that was so suggestive and so blatantly indecent I blush to have posted it?!? The dish that seems to aspire towards actual, rather than metaphorical, food porn?!?

Yup, that's the one.

I wonder if the Super Tuber is another one of those secret signals Craig employed?

Stocking Up at the West Side Market

What with the snow, the cold, and the unpredictable baby moods, we have not gone to the West Side Market nearly as often as we used to.  At one time it was a weekly trip, then an every other week trip, and now it's about once a month if we're lucky.

So when we go, we really stock up.  We came from from last Saturday's vist to the market with:
  • Coffee beans
  • Sour cream
  • Butter
  • Eggs
  • Pistacios
  • Almonds (both whole and as a butter)
  • Chocolate covered raisins
  • Paprika
  • Salt
  • Parsley (fresh and dried kinds)
  • Peppercorns
  • Scallops
  • Tilapia
  • Squid
  • Apples
  • Bananas
  • Honey (jars and sticks)
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Chicken
  • Ground turkey
  • Beef (London broil, ground, and brisket)
  • Pork
  • Bacon
  • Ham shanks
  • Hungarian peppers
  • Potatoes (Yukon, Idaho, and fingerlings)
  • Garlic
Foodgoat carried all this with GoatSpawn, who was singing away along with the band on the balcony, on his back.  And now we have ample supplies to last us a few weeks.
