@Kurtroedeger I was searching for something potato-y, and the AI thing came up with this:

In Praise of the Potato

In the quiet of the soil, where roots intertwine, The potato slumbers, a treasure divine. Its rugged skin, a cloak of earth’s embrace, Holds secrets of sustenance, a starchy grace.

From gnarled knuckles to smooth russet plains, It morphs—chameleon of the culinary domains. Boiled, mashed, or fried, it yields to our whims, An alchemical canvas for flavors to swim.

The French, they slice thin and bathe in hot oil, Emerging as golden frites, a crispy turmoil. And in Ireland’s heart, the colcannon sings, Potatoes and cabbage, a comforting fling.

Latkes, samosas, and gnocchi take flight, Crafted from spuds, kissed by kitchen light. And who can resist the shepherd’s pie? A blanket of mashed potatoes, cozy and high.

But let us not forget the humble jacket spud, Baked to perfection, its fluffiness a flood. With butter, sour cream, and chives to adorn, It whispers, “Comfort awaits; come, be reborn.”

So here’s to the potato, steadfast and true, Rooted in history, a culinary debut. From famine to feast, it sustains and delights, A humble superstar, in our gastronomic nights.

May your culinary adventures with potatoes be ever delightful! 🥔✨

Heading to the market today to get some potatoes. Will eat some of them, as well as set some aside to chit for this year's garden.

(Chit- to encourage to sprout on purpose)
