First I smelled it.
Then I heard it.
Then I saw it.
I walked into the kitchen this morning and couldn't believe my nose.
"What the H*E*Double Hockey sticks is that?"
(except there were no double hockey sticks)
I wandered around the kitchen smelling
the garbage can,
the refrigerator,
the garbage disposal,
then the pantry.
And then I heard it.
Somewhere in the bottom of the pantry.
A small bubbling sound.
Did an errant can of Diet Coke spring a leak?
No.
Then I saw it.
MMmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Nothing says cooking like a big old frothy and foamy bag of red potatoes.

I gagged just looking at the photo. I can always tell when there's a rotten potato in the supermarket produce section. They call me Super Nose!
The only thing that smells worse is a dead rat in the basement.
Well, there probably are worse things, but I don't want to know about them.
How can anything as sweet as a potato smell as horrible as a potato gone bad? I can't believe you had the strength to take a photo.
You'll be fascinated to hear that an expert on the Casey Anthony trial said the only rotting food that can imitate the odor of a dead body is a potato. Isn't that interesting? I've never heard them bubbling, however. Particularly gross. In this heat, I can understand the accelerated decomposition. One of the most appetizing of your posts. Thank you, Holly.
EEEEEEEEUUUUUUHHHHHH
I can smell it from here!
Gads, what a way to start the day!
Worst. Smell. Ever.
My mom had a bag of produce tip in her car once - she thought she had everything but one potato that was in hiding under the seat. I think my sister refused to ride in that car for several months.
Yuck! I guess most of us can relate to this one. I wonder why they have to smell so bad. Needless to say after a couple of bouts with rotting potatoes I am really really aware of their condition as they sit on my counter. Out they go at the first sign of anything yucky.
OMG !There is NOTHING that smells as bad,, I know just what you mean,, its terrible, and cleaning it up is worse,, just chuck the whole thing,, thats what i did, my husband said oh you can't throw all the good ones out and I said,, just watch me,, YUK!You poor woman,, been there done that!!
I've this unfortunate occurance happen in my pantry, and I agree with Jo, smells like death :(

I now spend a survey of bloggers with such questions.
1. Why did you create a blog?
2. For whom you taking him? Want to be popular?
3. How long will it keep going?
♥
Oh no! Eeeeeew did it take a long time to get the stinch out?
Yup that great liquid potato smell. Can't forget it. I am now follower #93. Found your blog through a comment at Sunny Simple Life. Toilet training memories- still rise to the surface occasionally. Pre night time diapers too. Made my own - cloth, LAYERS. Not my fav memories, but looking back, funnyish.
