Default Potato spots again.

Remember the weird spots in the potatoes a few years ago making them nearly
inedible! Well... It's back. Twice I bought a bag of small red potatoes
at Target. Once they sprouted almost immediately and I wound up tossing
them out. After getting very bad stomach pains following the trimming of
sprouts and eating the potatoes, never again.

I bought a second bag that looked good and vowed to use them quickly. And
some were beginning to sprout. Just tiny sprouts. Some were also slightly
mushy feeling. But I only needed a few to roast with some onions. However,
in cutting the seemingly good ones open, many had those weird brown/black
spots inside like they did a few years ago. Not nearly as bad as in the
past though. I was able to trim around and find enough good ones for
tomorrow's meal..

And before anyone jumps on me for cooking ahead... I have to now with my
husband's schedule. He has to eat before it is our normal dinner time which
would be 6:00 p.m. or later.
