When Potato January happened to me and my children, a long time ago, it never occurred to me that there might be a day when we lived in a Potato January environment. Everywhere we turn jobs are being lost, people are being betrayed, elitists are trying to secure bailouts for themselves while leaving the common people homeless, jobless and starving. It is a dreadful situation, and probably one that is not going to improve until it becomes even worse.
So let me say once again, when you feel down and out and your food budget seems to be going through the roof, grab yourself a bag of idaho russet potatoes and dig in. A baked, or nuked (poke holes in it first) potato, drizzling with olive oil if you like, topped with whatever vegetables you have on hand to steam, is a good and nutritional meal with no fat and not a lot of calories. Add shredded cheese or, my favorite, cottage cheese, to it, sprinkle with some cajun seasoning and it is delicious; it fills you up and keeps your tummy warm in cold weather.
