I've been at NHC this week. I've got limited computer time here, and it's time to wind down towards Shabbat, so real posts about the Institute will happen once I'm home again. In short: it's a good week of much learning (both texts and hands-on), interesting conversation, and much Jewish geeking. The downsides include less than adequate amounts of sleep and a rather starch-filled diet of somewhat bland foods.

There are potatoes at every meal (plus pizza and pasta at every non-breakfast, as well as other starches). This morning, for the first time, the potatoes were in the form of Tater Tots. And all I could think of were all those tater parents, wondering what had happened, submitting photos of their kids to be put on milk cartons.

The tragedy of the missing Tater Tots is a sad blemish on the root-vegetable community.

I think that's why there are angry eyes included in the Mr. Potato Head set.

A bunch of carrots scowled at me in the grocery store tonight. I wasn't even buying potatoes! Yet they obviously thought I was up to no good.

And here I thought that carrots were basically safe, at least compared to the onion thugs.

I thought so too. Obviously someone told them about the peelers in aisle 9. I wasn't even going down that aisle! (Besides, I already have a peeler. Oops, did I say that out loud?)
