  1. My kids love making potato prints. They cut patterns into the potatoes, ink them and stamp them onto paper, fabric etc. But lately I've been wondering, are these inked potatoes edible when the children are done?

  2. According to my friend's son who took a law class in college before he was forced to drop out, I can't advise you on this matter. I can tell you what I'd do. I'd limit children's ink choices to gold, red and blue and go ahead and serve them. Everyone will think they're those fancy upscale designer potatoes.

    You must be on to something. Note the feature in yesterday's Seattle Times.
