Probably wanted to save the potatoes for vodka, which may explain him saying no to peeling ;)

..A Penza man also had an apparent aversion to peeling potatoes, one that prompted his wife to hurl a knife into his eye in a fit of rage, according to Penza region news portal Pzn.ru.
The description of the incident on Pzn.ru makes the wife sound like a professional knife-thrower. After the husband refused to peel the potatoes, the woman, from the Penza region town of Arbekov, grabbed a kitchen knife and whipped it at her spouse, the tip of the knife lodging directly in his eye socket.
The husband displayed true devotion, waiting three days before seeking medical attention for the wound to his eye, then claiming he inflicted the wound on himself, Pzn.ru reported. He later confessed how things really went down, the web site said.
Luckily, the eye did not have to be removed, though the husband's sight has been severely damaged.
A Penza region court recently sent the woman to prison for the attack, as she was still on probation after serving time for murder, local prosecutor Irina Alekseyenko told the web site.
According to Alekseyenko, the convicted murderer met her husband immediately after being released from prison.
"Even though the victim begged that his wife not be punished too harshly, she was nonetheless sent to prison for one-and-a-half years," Alekseyenko was quoted as saying.
As Newsru.com helpfully notes, the incident was far from the first crime involving culinary preparations.
In September 2008, a 53-year-old Tula woman was detained on suspicion of stabbing her husband to death as he was shredding cabbage in the kitchen.
In another case, from January 2008, a Stavropol man was sentenced to three years in prison for attacking his friend with a knife in a drunken argument about how to prepare eggs properly.
The victim, who survived the attack, disagreed with his assailant's decision to use tomatoes in the recipe.

Either that or he knew he would be in real trouble if he complained.
Just remember this article when considering those mail order Russian brides. What will she be like in 10 years when she drinks more and has a fifty pound advantage on you.
Vodka involved?

Reminder: ...already know to wash dishes (no man ever got shot, etc); mental note to peel potatoes.
Man, that is one ugly-ass woman. I know that without even lookin’.
See what happens when you can’t afford potato peelers? Probably a picture of the U.S. after Zero gets through with us.
Uh... woah...
I'm married to a Ukrainian and they're serious about their peeled potatoes! Leaving the skin on a potato is a sign of laziness and uncleanliness. My wife couldn't believe that Americans eat potato skins!

Gentleman, I think the lesson here is clear: Wait until she hands you the knife before refusing to peel the potatoes.
“In September 2008, a 53-year-old Tula woman was detained on suspicion of stabbing her husband to death as he was shredding cabbage in the kitchen.”
“In another case, from January 2008, a Stavropol man was sentenced to three years in prison for attacking his friend with a knife in a drunken argument about how to prepare eggs properly.”
Holy smoke! Somebody petition Congress! They have nothing they’re doing, as usual, and they need to pass laws requiring us to REGISTER PRODUCE!! It’s obvious we must be protected!! Do they not care?! Potatoes and cabbage can cause death and injury!! Save us government!! Please love us!!
No truer words........
Been there.....wanted to do that.....LOL
Russian women apparently only want husbands who are a’peeling...
ping!
They take their food prep seriously.
Russian women are dying to meet you!
She was obviously attempting to explain to her present husband, as any good Maine girl would, that the eyes must be cut out of the potato. I am getting a warm tingly feeling (like Chrissy Matthews when he thinks of POTUS) ... I'll send her a mash note.
