    Worth the money - potato pearls?

    That's the question. Who can say? It would be nice, but I would guess not? Anyway, I'll post a photo of the ones I actually get when they arrive, which will hopefully be in a couple of days. P.S. I'm keeping this purchase a secret from my husband because I promised not to spend a penny on...
