The potato that wouldn't cook

Ever find a stubborn piece of food that won't cooperate? Oh wait, all the time. Well anyway, this evening we tried to have a nice dinner with my parents, only the potatoes weren't cooked. Holly geez, there were nuked in the microwave over 15 minutes and then steamed in foil - all done naccording to the mini-chef living in our microwave. So we nuked them some more. And still not cooked. By this time, we were about done with dinner and only J.T. was interested in his potato. (Poor thing has had potato cravings for a while now.) So he nuked his yet again and the damn thing wouldn't cook. We cut it open and you could make a nice "slap" sound when you clapped them together.

Clearly defective potatoes.

All the same, the dinner was payment for Dad helping us with the kitchen sink plumbing. A sink just isn't a sink without running water... And we're finding a kitchen just isn't a kitchen without a sink. :(
