Starchy?!

Guess saying this will make me sound weird or old, but since I'm well on my way to both, here goes: I remember that when I was growing up, potatoes, rice, pasta, etc. were "starches". No one says that now. Seems like meal planning is all about "carbs" and "protein," "main" and "sides". What I can definitely categorize tonight's dinner as: unbalanced. We often have mac & cheese on Sundays. Tonight's version incorporated ham, peas and spinach. But then, wanting to use a potato that Koji dug up during a school outing the other day, I also served some smoked salmon hash. Which Koji didn't eat. Starchy!!
