Our donuts also gave rise to cries of "Ia, ia!".

Can you elaborate?

The latkes my mom and I made came out well, but man do my clothes stink of grease.

Well. . . I'd rather not.

Except, um. . . I'm pretty sure that grated potatoes ought not be that particular shade of green -- that shade of green that only parents of newborns are quite familiar with.

Yuck. I see. At least, then, it sounds like it was the fault of the ingredients more than the recipe.

[xiphias.livejournal.com]

It smelled similar, too.

There is probably an interesting biology experiment that could be done to figure out why, and what happened, but I'd rather not.

If you don't mind my asking, why did you go ahead and make latkes out of something that looked and smelled like that?

[xiphias.livejournal.com]

I didn't. It got throwed out right then. The recipe failed at the grating potatoes stage. As soon as that happened, we were done.

Is it odd that now an alternate version of the "Green Acres" theme song is running through my head?

Green taters are a sight to see.
Latkes are a catastrophe.

If at first you don't succeed, fry, fry again.
