There was a bad smell in the kitchen that took a couple of days of sniffing
around before it was traced to an aging bag of potatoes in a cabinet that had ceased
being food anymore. Emptying the cabinet and airing it out for a couple of
days with bowl of baking soda inside may have helped some, but it's still
unpleasantly stinky, so I'm looking to accelerate the process by investigating
other suggestions for ways to absorb the stench. Of course one of the
suggestions is that this can be accomplished using potatoes. Maybe I'll ignore
the potential irony here and try that... it's like the old saying, set a thief
to catch a thief.

Potatoes kept sitting on the counter keep for a significantly long time, and have the benefit of being unable to spoil surreptitiously. Each passing day left uneaten only strengthens their resolve. A point comes where one cannot so much as pass by without sensing a prickling upon the nape, the very gaze of the starchy orbs a palpable and increasingly disconcerting force not to be ignored except at one's peril. The very air seems tinged and dulled as it by the wraiths of a thousand long-dead Irishmen (THAS A BANNY POTAY-TOE!), waiting eternal for the potato that never was, judging always judging you as you ignore the veritable bounty of potatoes upon your counter top. The choice is simple: eat your potatoes, or be driven mad by unbearable guilt.
