I have like 5 recipes I am forgetting how they tasted and not making more because my reviews are not working!

Sometimes when you click on post review it doesn't take the first time, you have to wait for a message telling you it has been submitted. I have had to click on it more than once sometimes, myself
Don't quit, you are the most prolific cook here, Umm Binat!

I am starting to forget how the recipes I made turned out & how I modified them if at all.

I just made and reviewed Black Bean Salad to try and see if the problem cleared up now when I finished no ones review shows!!!!

Yes, I clicked on it and something is weird about the way it is behaving. Just another glitch in this wacky website. I'll report it if you haven't. Let me know if you have

I just gave it as an example on my thread where I have written that I have problems with reviewing. They haven't been in touch yet.

So I think any recipe I review becomes weird I may mess up the whole website if I continue, lol.

HaHaHa! So you are the culprit!

I'll report the strange goings on anyway

Usually potatoes get green when exposed to light, but even without exposure to light they might get green over the time. The green colour indicates a high content of solanin which is poisonous for humans (not exactly deadly when you eat that green stuff, but you won't feel well either).

Ditto heard that too. I also peel it off. Is there truth in it? Are they picked before they are "ripe" maybe?

The green alcaloid solanin is in potatoes eihter when they're not ripe or when they're exposed to light. In any case, it's toxic.
It's a substance that the potato develops to defend itself against bacteria and bugs. Even in ripe potatoes it's right under the skin, but if they're not really green, you can eat the potatoes unpeeled because the amount of solanin is not too large. Only if you're really sensitive, you might want to peel them anyway. Solanin disturbs the stomach and can cause inflammations of the gut.

I wonder if there is any truth in the old wives tale that you shroud never eat raw potatoes? A nightshade plant is what they were called, along with tomatoes, were said to be poison. Whenever I am peeling potatoes or cutting them up, I love to eat a chunk of raw potato!

You can eat potatoes raw if you remove all the green parts. The only poisonous substance in them is the solanin, but that doesn't get destroyed by cooking, it just washes out into the water to some degree. But if you eat a ripe, peeled potato without any green, it's no more poisonous than a boiled one.

Yes, I have always said that! Some old wives tales are so funny! Imagine putting butter on a burn

Yay!
Sounds delicious.
I recorded your other tags, too, even though the reviews didn't come through. They won't count at the end, but they should be noted, they're great recipes
