HOMIES

i just loooooove potatoes.
shoutouts to my body for not giving a single F* about me
and luring me to potatoville every day.
i decided to forego refined sugars for the month, as i've mentioned.
my body decided to replace 'em with alllll the starch.
or at least, i crave 'em, and i make 'em pretty often these days.
check it:

HOMIES!!
mmmmhmmmm.
that's that new-new, neighbors.
roasted skin-on russet wedges,
tossed with tasty bits of spice and activated with scallion sprankles
and a lil bowl of smoked spicy ketchup.
they're what i need in my life every day.
i've talked about them before, and recently at that.
they just keep gettin' better each time, tho.
the oven was gettin' hotter and hotter on it's way to 460℉ for bread.
and that's the right scene for a potato dream to unfold, bro.

in a mixin' bowl, combine tow russet potatoes, cut into wedges, and:
1 T olive oil;
1/4 tsp turmeric;
1/4 tsp smoked hot paprika;
dash of cayenne;
fresh coarse-cracked black pepper;
pink salt;
2 shakes each of Garlic Powder and Onion Powder.
toss that whole bowl all around to thoroughly coat every 'tater,
and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking tray-
roast those baddies until they're as crisp and golden as you prefer.
they yellow turmeric is a tricker, tho- so test 'em with a fork.
could be twenty minutes, could be forty, i don't know what you like,
and i don't know if your oven is any good either.
be patient, it's worth the wait.

really, eating more potatoes is good stuff.
it's like a big cuddly hug for your insides.
...and that's sorta nice.
i think that if there were more potatoes in everybody's life,
we'd all probably be a lot happier-
maybe not smaller in the middle, and probably not necessarily healthier,
but way way happier, for sure.
i know that they've been making my days better.
so here's a big two-handed hang-ten high five to tuberous veg.
thanks for the mood boost, spuds;
never quiet, never soft.....
