Got you.
The potatoes are the killer.
I love tomato sauce, but can switch if need be, to Northern Italian
fare. Pasta needs a little kick. I'll manage.
But how do you make a Bloody Mary without tomato juice?
But potatoes? I can give up fries, but potato salad? Never heard of
sweet potato or yam salad...
I suppose I can substitute rice for the starch servings. I do like
rice...
That wouldn't hurt my feelings at all! <g>
You can make a pretty passable substitute for potato salad from
jicama. They're readily available in many grocery stores and can be
eaten raw or cooked. I had "potato salad" in Puerto Rico that was
darned close to the real thing, just the chunks of jicama were
crisper than cooked potato. Jicama is not a member of the nightshade
family.
