The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop vegetable from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family. Potato may refer to the plant itself as well. In the region of the Andes, there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potato is the world's most widely grown tuber crop, and the fourth largest food crop in terms of fresh produce after rice, wheat, and corn. Wild potato species occur from the United States to Uruguay and Chile[1]. Genetic testing of the wide variety of cultivars and wild species suggest that the potato has a single origin in the area of southern Peru,[2] and that the single ancestor of all potatoes in the world, the Solanum brevicaule, originiated more than 10,000 years ago in Peru's portion of lake Titicaca.[3] Today, over 99% of all cultivated potato varieties worldwide are descendants of a subspecies indigenous to south-central Chile.[4] Based on historical records, local agriculturalists, and DNA analyses, the most widely cultivated variety worldwide, Solanum tuberosum tuberosum, is believed to be indigenous to Chiloé Archipelago where it was cultivated by the indigenous people.[5] The potato was introduced to Europe in 1536,[6] and subsequently by European mariners to territories and ports throughout the world.[7] Thousands of varieties persist in the Andes, where over 100 varieties might be found in a single valley, and a dozen or more might be maintained by a single agricultural household.[8] Once established in Europe, the potato soon became an important food staple and field crop. But lack of genetic diversity, due to the fact that very few varieties were initially introduced, left the crop vulnerable to disease. In 1845, a plant disease known as late blight, caused by the fungus-like oocmycete Phytophthora infestans, spread rapidly through the poorer communities of western Ireland, resulting in the crop failures that led to the Great Irish Famine.[6] The annual diet of an average global citizen in the first decade of the twenty-first century would include about 33 kilograms (or 73 lbs.) of potato. However, the local importance of potato is extremely variable and rapidly changing. The potato remains an essential crop in Europe (especially eastern and central Europe), where per capita production is still the highest in the world, but the most rapid expansion of potato over the past few decades has occurred in southern and eastern Asia. China is now the world’s largest potato producing country,[7] and nearly a third of the world’s potatoes are harvested in China and India.[9] More generally, the geographic shift of potato production has been away from wealthier countries toward lower-income areas of the world.[10]

3. You and your body deserve better. Why you need to quit smoking.
November 11, 2008
Me & My Cigarette. The dinner host shouts a mild curse from the kitchen as she berates the oven to stop smoking, the potatoes a little over done. Conversation is polite. The guests seated are middle age. They have good jobs, look after their families and respected in their communities. A couple outside are smoking cigarettes, they are asked to stop and come inside to eat. There is light laughter, friendly conversation, and the host has just placed upon the table a roast chicken, vegetables, and a warm loaf of bread. The smoking has stopped from the kitchen. Dinner is eaten. The food is good. ... (read more)

8. The Economy is Changing - Are You?
November 07, 2008
The Economy is Changing – Are You? I recently read a story about a washing machine manufacturer in China. This Chinese company had produced a washing machine they were proud of and it was getting great reviews. However, they were starting to get complaints from some of their rural customers about the drain becoming clogged. After some investigation, they determined that some of these rural customers were using the washing machine to wash potatoes. Of course, this was not what the machine was designed to do. The manufacturer could have simply said this was the customer’s problem because th... (read more)

9. How to Make an Easy Turkey Gravy
November 06, 2008
I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone who does not enjoy pouring gravy over turkey and mashed potatoes. There are only a few times a year when I make gravy and we always seem to look forward to those particular meals.
There is a world of difference between home made and store bought gravy. I’ve tried store bought, both in a jar and powdered and they just don’t compare to homemade gravy.
Before ever cooking your turkey, you’ll want to make turkey stock. This is basically turkey soup. Start with 4 cups water. Add some turkey parts. We don’t eat dark meat, so I use the dark meat to make the... (read more)

We are potato lovers. We eat potatoes many times each week. We slice them, we dice them, we fry them and we bake them.

I then sprinkle grapeseed oil over the potatoes and then sprinkle generously with packaged onion soup mix and bake until tender. That’s it. These come out tender and yummy, every single time.

12. Make'in Bacon
October 27, 2008
Among my many culinary adventures in my bag was a stint as a Food Service Director in a very upscale Retirement Living Community. One challenge I ran into was it seems, after the age of about 70 we all start to lose a bit of our taste sense. To deal with this effect we have to adjust our spice level a bit. A little more pepper, salt, red pepper, lemon and the use of bacon really helps.
While we have to be careful not to go too crazy, a little more Zip makes every one happy and I might say most all of us enjoy a better spark to our taste buds. I mentioned salt above but this is the le... (read more)

Potatoes! Why I wanted to mention this? Because so many health and fitness professionals trash talk potatoes about being a bad carbohydrate choice because of the high glycemic index. Some even say such ridiculous things as "avoid any and all white carbohydrates".

21. WHAT IS DIABETES AND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TYPE 1, GESTATIONAL AND TYPE 2 DIABETES?
September 22, 2008
Diabetes is the inability to transfer sugars in blood into the sugar-storage sites of your body, the muscles and liver. Sugars, called carbohydrates, are found mainly in cereals, rice, bread, pastas, potatoes, milk products, fruits, fruit juices and sweets. When we consume these foods, they pass from the stomach into the intestines and get broken down to the most basic sugar form, glucose. Glucose (sugar) normally moves into the blood via a web of blood vessels that are connected to the intestines. When the movement of glucose into the blood stream raises its average level above 100 points (mg... (read more)

Every cell in your body is a mini-battery pumping out 70-90 millivolts – when healthy.
Our muscles are powered by chemical energy. The steak and potatoes that you eat for dinner are really just fuel for the fire. Eating is like throwing coal in a furnace. Digestion is nothing more than a slow form of burning that produces energy for your body to live on. In fact, death itself is defined as the absence of electrical activity in the brain. In the end, all life is energy. ... (read more)
