HOT HOT HOT

Have you ever wondered about whether or not it's considered cooking yourself if you're a potato that goes to a hot tub? Well we have. Plenty of times actually. Since we are half humans and can't really understand the effects of a hot tub on a potato we asked several potatoes about their experiences and why they did it. Here are some responses: 

"When I was a young potato I sneaked into a hot tub to show off to my friends that I can do something adults can. At first it was great and  I became some great leader that my friends followed. They even followed me to the hot tub. We all pretended that we were being cooked in a soup. That was a bad idea because a human saw us and thought that her son was being lazy and tried to cook us there instead of going through a long procedure in the kitchen. The human did not approve of this so she took us to the kitchen to cook us. That was when we realized that the hot tub must have been broken or it's only called a hot tub to initimidate many because it wasn't really hot especially when you compare it to the pot in the kitchen. We weren't even in the pot yet but we could already feel the heat. Luckily, the human was called for an emergency meeting so we were able to escape. We were young and reckless back then so we went back to the hot tub for a bit even though there was the danger of being captured again. As for the dangers the hot tub brings to our health, I don't think there are any since we look like healthy potatoes."

"Going to a hot tub is the reason why Iook older than those my age. When I was younger I hated how I looked more like my baby sister than those my age so I went to a hot tub to mature a bit. It took a few hours but it worked and I loved it! I ended up looking a bit more mature than those my age and this made those potatoes who made fun of me envy me! However, now that I'm older, I regret it because I now wish I looked younger but unfortunately there's nothing that helps with that. I definitely suggest that you all think about this before going in a hot tub"

- P. Otato

"One time for Halloween I wanted to be the scariest potato out there so I decided that I would be a witch. I realized that I didn't look too scary since I didn't look old enough to be like those witches you see in movies. This made me go try out the hot tub a few blocks away so that I would get wrinkly. After many hours it worked! I finally looked scary enough or Halloween! I got a good laugh after scaring so many children. Unfortunately, the wrinkles do not wear off so I'm now known as the local witch that everyone avoids. Always think things through because you might just end up like me."

- Ms. Patatolatogous

So based on these responses we can conclude that a short period of time in a hot tub won't really affect potatoes but it is better to stay away from them because if you lose track of time you might just regret it. 

ALWAYS STAY SAFE WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Shakey plane and opening cabins

I'm pretty sure those things where you put your luggages on a plane are called cabins but if not, I am terribly sorry for calling it by the wrong name. 

Anyways... I believe that either the pilot was not a potato or the weather has some anger towards potatoes on my flight back. The plane was always shaking and so I was uneasy but the worst part of my flight was about after 5 hours after taking off. It was bad enough that it was dark and the plane was shaking but then suddenly some of the the cabins opened by themselves and one of those was the one right above me. It was like those potato horror movies where you just know that the tomato is just going to jump out at in the middle of the chaos. It frightened me quite a bit and it made me realize how much I hate planes and I plan on not going on one anytime soon. Maybe my dislike is just some potato thing because obviously potatoes weren't meant to be up that high from their home, the ground. 

Unfortunately, I did not meet any potatoes there so I cannot compare those potatoes to the ones I know or tell you about how amazing they are. However, I did meet a lot of relatives. None of them were potatoes. I believe they were all full humans. It was nice to see some of my cousins but I felt quite uncomfortable with older relatives that told me they haven't seen me since I was a baby or something along those lines because it seemed that they've known me forever while I saw them as complete strangers. I can conclude that humans are harder to socialize with than potatoes. 

P.S. If you haven't noticed by now, I, Camille, am back from the Philippines!!!

Tell me if you're a potato living in the Philippines and I missed you during my vacation?

cold Movember day

What's cookin' good lookin'? Hopefully potatoes. ;)

As November is coming to an end we decided that we should mention...
1) how bloody cold it is
2) it's almost Christmas (look out for the Christmas special)
3) Movember
4) how much we love you

Let's begin this shall we...

Because we live in Canada it is absolutely freezing here. We know for a fact it will be colder with the coming days. However it got cold fast! But we got snow so it's okay. If it's cold and there is snow it is more tolerable. The down side is that there is very little snow and it's cold. Oh well that's Canada for you.

Christmas is like a month away! We can't wait. We are super-duper excited! Potatoes celebrate Christmas too, doesn't matter where they are. Potatoes celebrate everything, even if they aren't a part of it. They just love to party. We plan on making a Christmas special for all of you lovely people out there. Be on the look out.

Movember. We think this might be just a Canadian thing, but we could be wrong. Have any of you ever heard of Movember? Yes? No? Well Movember is the month of November. But it's not just a month any more. It is a month to raise money for prostate cancer. This is to show awareness for the cancer. Men (and boys) are encouraged to grow a mustache and aren't allowed to shave until the end of the month. There is a huge campaign that goes with this. If you want to read more there will be a link at the bottom.

 Now you may be wondering why we would mention this on a blog all about potatoes. Well here's why. Have you seen photos of potatoes with mustaches? Yes? No? Well potatoes are aware of the things that happen in the human world. (They should be if they want to survive for a long time and want to make the most of life.) Anyways they also grow mustaches (they try anyways) to help raise awareness for mold research. They have many potatoes passing away due to mold and there is no cure. Potatoes have taken the human event and made it more suitable for themselves.

We love you all whether you are a potato, carrot, tomato, dog, cat, human, alien or anything in between. We see that there are page views and we strive to make entertaining blobs for you! WE LOVE YOU!!

Hopefully you are in a place that's warm if not, we HIGHLY suggest going under many blankets, with a cup of hot chocolate, tea or coffee and with a book, laptop or phone to keep you entertained.

Keep warm potatoes!! See you next week!!

omg 50

We're halfway there. OHHHHHHH livin' on a prayer! -song we do not own-

This is so exciting! We are at post number 50! However Camille has left me to post alone. -insert sad face here- I hope she's having fun and is safe while on her trip.

Currently in Potatland the potatoes are celebrating 50 blog posts and the coming of the winter season. This celebration of winter lasts a few weeks. Once the harvest season is over the potatoes begin their celebration. This marks another year of survival. It's important to celebrate this as potatoes understand how important life is and how short it is for some potatoes.

However in the human world it is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. I don't know much about Doctor Who (don't shoot me) but many people are excited about it.

There's also a show on potelevision called "Potatooooo." It is the adventures of a young potato who ventures the world to discover what it means to be a potato. However the potato has to complete this mission before they a)rot or b)get caught by humans. Each time the potato dies a new one comes on the show. It's almost like the Hunger Games -again we do not own this- where it's a fight to the death. This show is celebrating it's 50th too! So exciting!!

What are you celebrating? 50th or not, we are curious to hear what you are celebrating!

We are eager to hear from you!

Yummy yummy

Happy potsa friesday!

Before we begin you are probably wondering what potsa is. Well its quiet simple. Potsa is the potato version on pasta. For potatoes it is made out of fertilizer. 

Potsa friesday just means we need to have potsa and fries as one of our meals. No our fries are not made from potatoes...thats cannibolism and is frowned upon here. Theres some potatoes that take the days religiously so they would on eat potsa and fries that day. 

Each day has its own food(s). 

Fersoupday (fertilizer soup sunday)

Mudday (mud food monday)

Tootsday (almost like tater tots but not)

Waternesday (lots of water)

Exerusday (day of exercising)

Posta friesday

Sausturday (all about sauses)

Each potato celebrates these days at least two weeks a month. Its the law to uphold this tradition for a minimum of two weeks a month. Some will go everyday some just the bare minimum. It all depends on the potato. 

Why is Potatbell so Delicious?

Have you ever been to a restaurant and never wanted to leave? Well if you have, then you can imagine how we felt a few days ago when we went to Potatbell. Potatbell is a famous restaurant that's ALWAYS busy. Potatoes from everywhere come to eat there, even famous potatoes go there! We were so lucky to have been able to eat there because all the potatoes wanting to eat there make it so hard to get a table to even reserve one! The restaurant was a lot fancier than we expected. There were chandeliers, super shiny floor, and the potatoes there were all dressed so elegantly! As for the food, they were scrumptious! We've heard great reviews but we thought that they were exaggerating and after eating there we realized that they weren't! The food served there were food that would be typically seen in a fast food place but 192838288283738288941 times better since they're gourmet. Some things served there are poburgers, pries (both were named after potatoes, they contain no potatoes whatsoever), soil smoothies, fertilizer fondue, and fertile sandwiches. We wanted to get the best out of going to Potatbell so we tried everything that we just listed. Please don't judge us for that, it was just too delicious. The prices of the food also aren't unreasonable so spending your money there is definitely worth it! If you have the time we 105% reccomend eating at Potatbell which is located at 105 Polate Road! 

*We are not paid endorsers of Potatbell, we just really love it. But, if Potatbell employees see this, we would like to let you know that we would love to endorse it, just email us or tweet us! 

Trick or Treat!

*cue the fog and the scary music*

So as you probably already know, Halloween was yesterday! That meant lots and lots of candies for many, including ourselves. Potatoes celebrate Halloween quite similarly to humans. A week or two before Halloween, potatoes get crazy and decorate the entire farm. They tend to have contests with those nearby to see who can create the spookiest place. The winner gets to have the title "Halloween King/Queen" for an entire year and others look up to them because they are seen as the most creative potato of the year. Halloween is one of the very few times of the year that all potatoes like to dress up on. Little potatoes always go full out when dressing up. Some like to dress as superheroes, celebrity potatoes, and even carrots! The little potatoes tend to go trick or treating starting at around 6 p.m.. Since potatoes do not eat candy, they trick or treat for fertilizer and lots of other items helpful towards potatoes. However, there are a few random potatoes who like to give out candy. If a potato receives this, he/she tends to keep it as a souvenir since they can't eat them but they are too pretty to throw away. Older potatoes tend to throw parties that involve a lot of scaring and soil fights. Some are really brave, though some refer to it as "reckless", and like to carve themselves. Potatoes have seen how beautiful some pumpkins look so they decided to do it too, potato-style. Many have said that it hurts a lot but it makes them look great so it's okay. Potato carving is a bit similar to humans getting tattoos. There are so many great things that you can do at Halloween which is why potatoes love it so much! 

What about you, our dear friend? How did you spend you Halloween? Tell us all about it by emailing us or tweeting us!
