Did you eat the skin?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:19pm

but, supposedly the root of the potato doesn't have a significant amount of solanine.
...if you're allergic to something it's usually the protein in that food that body won't tolerate, so nothing's going to neutralize that.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:23pm
coelacanth∅:

the eyes are just the sprouts. if the potato is sprouting you absolutely should not eat the sprouts, because of solanine, and probably shouldn't eat the potato at all, because of aflatoxins.

ngh it's okay, if you cut them off; but it means it's older, so check for spots that look a little like mold (black or white) or rot spots, and if there's that, don't cut that off -just throw it away. (or compost it)

Larry, as an irish person (well i'm just under 1/2 irish; but more irish than anything else) i have to tell you that irish people are possibly the most likely to be sensitive to potatoes...as it was forced upon our ancestors as the primary food for so long.

By the way Larry, last weeks show is the first time I've ever listened to anything on the archive. You should be glad I was out of town, because I would have exasperated everyone with my opinions, musings and general Know-it-allism on Laural Canyon and it's former residents.

I love this version of Purple Haze. I discovered it on a charlie brown "black" Easter parody video. I know the name of the video but cannot say the N word for PC reasons.

my initial reaction the Dion's cover was that i actually laughed out loud. but it is an interesting arrangement, even if more than a tad disgenuine, as Dion often was. (in my opinion)

I like that Dion album a lot. If you ever get the chance check out the stuff that Gilberto Gil was doing in 1969/1971. It sounds like he had Dion's Purple Haze on a loop.

Have to confess I've been listening to Genesis outtakes this evening. The post-Gabriel stuff is more impressive than I would have imagined.

Franco do you have a potato-poisoning first-aid kit in the house?

One tour? Two? I saw them with Thompson and Bruford. Only time I ever heard the master live.
