So I dug up my potato plants and got some really big one pounders and a huge pile of tiny ones along with the majority in between types.

Well, being lazy I took all the baby ones that are maybe the size of a shooter marble to a golf ball, washed them really really well and scrubbed them down. I steamed them till soft and was enjoying dipped in ketchup. Well, "crunch" and a "hmm" with another hesitant "c-r-u-n-c.." off it rolls my tongue onto the plate. Ewww!!! There was a millipede IN the potato and I nearly ate it!!! This defiantly ruins my first meal of unpeeled potatoes...

My husband got a "squishy" surprise in a piece of cantaloupe the other day. Amazingly, this hasn't turned him off to eating cantaloupe, which is good, since we have a ton of them right now.

You beat me to it Blue Rose, I was thinking that same thing.

Don't believe that I would be eating anymore w/o cutting them in two!

Ewwww.

Like my dad says, the only thing worse than finding a worm in your apple is finding half a worm.
