We used to play it at Christmas 
I really should have said balancing electrons was pointless. It never became applicable to my adult life, thankfully?! I really shouldn’t have dragged the periodic table. It is pretty neat.What the heck was I learning in school?? I mean not once has the periodic table come up in my adult life. Potatoes? Every darn day!
Raw potatoes are very high maintenance: they like cold storage but not fridges and freezers. They undergo a process called cold-induced sweetening which converts the potato’s starch to reducing sugars. Cooking those sugars can result in the carcinogen acrylamide.

Acrylamide and Diet, Food Storage, and Food Preparation
Acrylamide is a chemical that can form in some foods during high temperature cooking, such as frying, roasting, and baking. Acrylamide forms from natural sugars and the amino acide asparagine in foods; it does not come from food packaging or the environment.www.fda.gov
