We always deliberately cook more new potatoes than we need, too, so the leftovers become either fried potatoes or, a favourite here, hot potato salad.

And they may well be in the fridge for several days ...

And the smell takes quite a while to develop

Thanks for that tip, Sue. Where is the best place to store new potatoes then? I don't really have anywhere cool and dark.

Incidentally I replanted the patch with more early potatoes and they are growing well.

Renée,

Good afternoon.

There is not a bar or tavern or restaurant in Spain, that does not re-heat "tortilla española " in a Micro-wave, unless a customer specifically requests it at room temperature or cold ..
The same goes for most "bar tapas" that accompany a drink (wine, beer etcetra ) and is included in Price of the drink ..

Not what we call a "ración" which is a tapa, that you order and pay for .. These dishes are prepared to order ( fresh shellfish etcetra ) ..

I shall read the article ..

Just have been very very busy this past week however, it is on my list of to reads !!


Have a lovely summer Dear ..

Thank you Member 461!

On reflection, I don't think that the article is worth reading. I found it on Microsoft news. I am going to ignore the information given!

I hope that you are enjoying your few days at home and are not getting extremes of heat.
