Mmmm. Starchy.

Matt and I were discussing dinner tonight, and came up with an interesting question, putting our other more pressing issues aside (How do they put carbonated soda into the bottle without it all overflowing with foam? How come the candy rows in the front of the store never change size, yet they are always coming out with new candy bars and I can still always find the old ones I am looking for? Where is all that room coming from?).
Is a potato a vegetable? I said no, I thought it was a starch. Matt thought it was a vegetable. He also mentioned that foods aren’t starch, they contain starch.
So I did what any other 28-year old independent women would do in my situation. I called my mother. She knows everything. Matt once told her that if he was ever on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, she would be the phone-a-friend. You want to know the opposite of an abundance? You call my mother (a dearth).
She informed me that a potato is, in fact, a tuber. Who knew?
