Diggin' For Gold!!Squeals of delight, utter amazement, and disbelief pealed out as we dug for gold!! Yes, gold right here in Minnesota on the family farm! Our family couldn't believe the number of gold nuggets! Each shovel-full was loaded with gold! With each nugget we plucked from the soil, we dreamed of what we would do with it. We were nearly drueling by the time we called it quits for the day. Wow, Grandpa and Grandma didn't tell us the conditions were ripe for gold up on that thar hill!That same night we first dicovered it, we put the gold on the grill along with roasted garlic from our harvest. Then we smothered it in butter and let the gold melt in our mouths with each delicious mouthful. Our oldest was six years old when she informed a gentleman that Gold was her favorite variety. Yes, Gold has got to be the family favorite, although we do like Purple Viking and Red ones as well. Mmmm-mmmm! The first taste of our own Yukon Gold potatoes fresh from our first garden on the farm was far from disappointing! The Farmer's Wife :) 09:03 - 2006-Jul-28 - post comment
