"P" is for "Potato"
[This entry is full of useless information. You can elect to either a) continue reading and fall into my realm of stupidity for today or b) close you browser and read about world events or something smart. You choose.]
My office generally has snacks galore laying around - cheezits, snackwells, wheat thins, crap, crap, crap. It's good and I love it and so does everyone else. That's why all the snacks are gone in t-minus 4 days 3 hours and 21 minutes. We are now on week two with no snacks and I was dying.
We must have had red potatoes at an office bbq a few weeks ago because I discovered a bag of them on top of the frig during my daily pillage for snacks. YUM. I decided my snack was going to be two little red potatoes baked (in the micro of course) with a little sour cream.
Sounds simple.
It wasn't.
Round 1: I wash and poke holes into two little red potatoes. I plop them on a paper towel and turn them on for 6 minutes to bake. I return 6 minutes later and, oh my god, potato carnage. Exploded potatoes covered the microwave. Oops. Potatoes - 1 Rachel - 0.
Round 2: Again I wash, poke and place two new potatoes into microwave and put on for 3 minutes. I get distracted and return half an hour later to find they have gone missing. Dammit. Potatoes - 2 Rachel - 0.
Round 3: WASH, POKE AND F-ING PLACE two MORE potatoes into microwave and put on for 4 minutes. I stand and stare at them as they bake in the paper towel. BUT I FORGOT TO DRY THEM SO WHEN THEY FINISH THE PAPER TOWEL HAS COOKED INTO THE SKIN OF THE POTATOES. AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Potatoes - 3 Rachel - BIG FAT 0.
Round 4: You get the drift. In they go. 4 minutes on a microwavable plate (that bitch ain't melting). DING! Snack time! I open, burn my hand on the plate (who cares just give me the dang tots) and look at my sweet sweet potatoes. They have a slight resemblance to raisins (cooked them too long again) but nothing a little smashing can't help. I smash, butter and enjoy some chewy potato lovin'. Final score: Potatoes - 3 Rachel - 1.
God help me - and my potatoes.
Wow, my love life really has hit a low hasn't it? I'm writing about potatoes! HA! Luckily, I'm heading back east this weekend for a change of pace - it appears that I may need it!
