In my continuing effort to enlighten…
Let’s dive a little deeper into continuing education.
Last week’s spoon bending was a hit, You’re never too old to learn…. Spoons.
And while this week’s class may be a little Maine-centric…. isn’t that half the fun?
So grab your taters and let’s go to school.

Spud Night – I’ve Got My Eyes on You!
If you are a Mainer (or from away) who is stuck in a potato rut, you will want to join us! We will learn how to choose the correct potato variety for use, see and taste many grown varieties and taste Roasted Fingerling potatoes. The class will make Swiss Rosti Potatoes, warm German Potato salad and Sweet Potato Puree with Smoked Paprika. The evening will be both demonstration and hands on. Bring a peeler and sealed tubs to take home leftovers (if there are any!)
$10 material fee included. No discounts

Again, yes. This is real.
There is actually a course on potatoes.
And admit it, you’re stuck in a potato rut.
We all are.
Hell, even Mr. Potato Head needs an update now and then.
Look how downright creepy he started out.
Would you let your child on the playground with that moustache twirling tater?
Of course not, so grab your peeler and get to class.

Ya know…I would like a class in choosing the correct potato variety. And that GIF of the potato slippers is killing me, I really want those!

Then this course is for you… never wonder what to mash again. And I agree, those slippers would be nice and toasty on a cold winter’s night.

In Europe there is the right to be forgotten where you can petition to get your stuff removed from the internet… Why hasn’t Mr Potato Head moved to Europe so he can erase his own existence?

I think a normal potato would be fine. For me it’s the hat and the tache…

My mother was so unhappy when someone gave me the original Mr. Potato Head kit. We didn’t have a lot of money, and those potatoes were FOOD, not TOYS. But how do you say no to a 6-year-old who wants to play with her new gift? Fortunately, the toy company subsequently came out with the plastic Mr. Potato Head so as to avoid wasting real potatoes.

That makes sense because it’s closely linked with gravity. You can’t get up off the floor because of it…

Oh my. I think the potato on the playground would deter me. I am more concerned about the baker in foil slippers.
