TATERZ!

and if you think i don't use my oven with great efficacy, you're wrong.
will i simultaneously bake bread and roast potatoes?
F* yeah.
what do think this is?
amateur hour?
no way.
i'm out here making potatoes work for me.
check it:

Wu-TANG, boi!!
turmeric, smoked paprika, coriander, cayenne, black pepper, pink salt, GPOP,
and olive oil, all busy roastin' with those chef's white spuds
while the bread bakes alongside it.
do y'all just shake your spices on top, or do you measure?
i feel like measuring is weak sauce,
and i don't really bother.
i mean, i've been eating food for four decades or more,
and i've been eating good food for the second half of my life so far.
so, if there's gotta be some seasonin' on my potatoes, i just baby it up,
and let it do what it does.
-
the last week raced by with reckless abandon.
like, a toad-piloted wild ride of running around hither and yon and to and fro
with no regard for personal well-being.
i didn't sleep much.
i didn't eat right.
i don't even know when i exercised last.
i have a head cold.
it's like hallowe'en wants me to be broken.
like, that's the pricetag for 'enjoying' the creative process.
if i started in september, i'd just have two brutal months.
and nobody needs that.
so, i just wild goose chase the pumpkin month,
and see where it takes me.
this time, it led me to realize that nobody needs a costume this elaborate
for the north of new hampshire.
i mean,
these folks only like storebought stuff.
y'know?
that generic jauns is what the want.
wal-mart plasic bummer bits.
but that ain't us, man.
nope.
we're cuter, and greater, and smarter, and better than that.
you'll see.
there's hallowe'en spirit and memory in the works as i type;
never quiet, never soft.....
