What happens to your cells when you eat salty potato chips?

The cells on your tong shrink because of the higher salt content outside those cells as long as that potato chip salt is there. Aside from that, unless you eat a whole lot of salty potato chips, not much, is the answer to your question. Some esophageal and stomach cells may temporarily shrink. The cells in your tong return to normal fast. The sodium chloride is ionized as soon as it meets saliva and both the Na+ and Cl- are transported to your blood immediately through channels from the tong to the large intestine. In the blood these ions don't change the equation very much; immediately there is a response that brings the ion concentration of blood back to where it was before you ate the potato chips. This may result in making you thirsty if the Na+ concentration gets to high, and the water you drink will dilute it out to what it should be, then the excess sodium is rapidly excreted thru a sodium potassium exchanger at the nephrons in your kidneys so that your urine sodium concentration is elevated for a short time, then that sodium is urinated. However in some "sodium sensitive" individuals, this transporter doesn't work so well and these individuals can develop "hypernatremia" or high sodium in the blood which causes many problems.

What is wrong with potato soup that has small bits of white stuff floating in it that looks like soured milk but the milk was good?

The protein in the milk has cooked, creating solid lumps. A solution, if it's cream of potato soup, is to put it all in the blender. You may have to process it in batches. That should take cre of the lumps. Next time, heat cream soups more gently. C ook at lower heat all you did was curdle the milk when you added it. If you warm the milk before adding it will not curdle You could use creme fraiche the next time you need to add cream to a hot mixture. It will not break down like regular creams or milk. There are recipes on line as to how to make it - pretty simple or perhaps your local store carries some. If you thickened your soup with flour or corn starch, the white lumps could be undissolved lumps of the corn starch or flour, it has happened to me. Make sure you dissolve your thickener completely in warm milk or broth before adding it to your soup. Jenny If your recipe uses milk it will curdle. Either make a roux or stir 2 tablespoon corrnstarch into a 1/4 Cup of COLD milk (from the recipe) before adding it to your soup (about 4-6 cups of soup). Bring to a boil to cook the starch and serve.

How do you take the gumminess out of mashed potatoes?

The unfortunate answer is, there really isn't anything you can do. You most likely overcooked, or overworked them, or both. Overworking them is most likely the culprit, either by putting them in a food processor, using a hand blender, or whipping them too much. This damages the cell walls, causing them to release excessive amounts of starch, which in turn becomes like a paste or a glue.

Next time, try to cook the potatoes just to the point where they are soft and will easily "mash", but don't overdo the mashing. When you add the milk and butter, try to fold them in gently, and let the potatoes absorb the liquid, rather than "whipping" them. The less you mash and manipulate the potatoes, the better your results will be.

Does putting a potato on the front of a gun silence the gun when shot or will it not shoot?

Despite the misinformation, there is no way to make an effective suppressor from a potato- Irish, baked, mashed or sweet- or from a pillow, a baby bottle nipple, or a soda bottle. However, sticking a potato on the muzzle MAY blow a gun up- it is called an obstructed bore. If potatoes worked, I would be at the grocery store, and not paying several hundred dollars for a legal, working suppressor.

By the way, under US law, an unregistered suppressor (silencer)- even a potato- could get you ten years in a Federal prison. Say hello to your new roommate- Bubba.
