hms, i don't know if this is only common knowlegde in Norway, since NONE of the people i've met in england seems to know of it, but that might be, since we are a bit weird, and well, it's very cold and boring up there[:I]
do any of you know what happens to a potato if you freece it??[:p]
-
it gets cold !!!...but...as a firm believer in empirical study I will place a potatoe in the freezer and will report here tomorrow the results of this important study.

haha, cool[:D]
can't wait to hear from you[:)]
(but you have to taste it before you reply[:p])
-
i'm gonna guess it gets mushy because all of the cells burst in the freezing/thawing process

p.s. welcome kristin... i've noticed you poking your head in a few places today and haven't said "hi" yet
Are YOUR mice nude? [;)]

Well, eleven hours later and potatoe is thoroughly miffed !!..obviously potatoe had no idea what it was letting itself in for. I can report that potatoe is as hard as a rock and therefore I can not take a bite, but when I come home from work tonight I shall endeavour to take a chomp when potatoe is defrozen.......I can't wait !!!!!!

lol, um i dunno what to say. that's not what happened when we did it in school a few years ago[:)] (but then we didn't freeze it for so many hours[;)] i dunno. the only thing that is supposed to happen (besides the potato getting cold) is that it becomes really
sweet-tasting[:)]
but it was great of you to try, thnx[:D]
lol, i may post a new challenge for ya in a few weeks[:)]
-
Kristin...Now that I think about it,it did actually taste a little sweet. Though I didn't swallow it.
Glad I could help [:D]

that potato just looks menacing
but the ring is sexy anyways, so that makes up for it, eh???
lol, [:p] im a pro goofball, thats me
-
Made the piccy smaller...should be less scary...I hope !![;)][:)][;)]

kristin.... how long did you freeze them for when you did it in class? did you do whole potatoes? or does it work with little chunks? how sweet does it get? did they explain why to you? does anyone know how this works??!! I'm so intriuged!

lol, um can't really remember. think it's just a few hours.
and if i remember correctly it has got something to do with the starch molecule being broken up into smaller pieces, a- glucose or something, but i can't guarantee it..
(did you really think i meant the potato was the scary part??[;)]
oh, no, i've lost my sarcasm!![:0] whatever shall i do now???)[:p]

Examining the bite-marks on that poor potato leads me to believe that Neil needs some orthodontia on his upper-left frontal incisor. I think the potato-rights protection people will be in touch, Neil. You seem to have abused the poor thing, it had a very sad expression.

I've already been contacted by the ' League Against Cruelty To Potatoes ' and in respect of bringing joy to the potatoe worshippers I do in fact have an hour long appointment with the dentist tomorrow in preparation of a crown for a tooth.....arrrrgghh !!!
