The potato, source of carbohydrates, protein and vitamin C, easy to cultivate and cook, became a staple food ; its nutritional value may however greatly vary in accordance with the manner of cooking.
The expansive force of this vapor used as a source of power for machines

Double duty
This stove is for home heating and lives in the corner of the dining room. The built in fan does a decent job of getting heat around the corners to the living room and kitchen. We knocked out a wall and opened up a hallway so that circulation goes in a circle. So even though it's a small stove, it's adequate.
Lately, we do most of our other heat tasks here as well. The stockpot, which Risa found in a dumpster, heats dishwater and "spit-baths." The coffee boiler serves up leftover coffee from the morning brew. Frying pans, sauce pans, and the Dutch over vie for the remaining space.
Here we have collard greens steaming, with a bowl of potatoes that's already done sitting on top, to keep warm.

Fingerling potatoes with olives. I'm not a big fan of olives but thankfully they didn't taste as olive-y as they smelled. Mmm, potatoes...I ate so many of these.
