It was a sMASHing hit

I deeply apologize to be posting so late once again but you see, I needed to help out a friend of mine. My dear friend Pota Tohr was recently turned into mashed potato. He was playing a nice game of hide and seek with his cousins when suddenly a boy found him and decided to take him home with him. Unfortunately for Pota, his friends did not know that he needed saving until it was too late because they were, as you already know, playing hide and seek. The boy who took Pota was also playing with his cousins but their game was baseball. The boy apparently hit the baseball to the evil neighbour's yard so it will never be seen again, to the anger of the boy's cousins. So when the boy found Pota he saw a great opportunity to make it up to his cousins. It worked. One of the boy's cousins hit Pota Tohr so hard that Pota turned into mashed potato, which the young kids enjoyed very much. So Pota now needs to comforted because being mashed is very new to him. He would love to hear from you so if you have any words of advice just let us know via twitter (cambrielapotato) or email (cambrielapotato@gmail.com) and we'll make sure that Pota Tohr will be informed!

A Letter From Poland

Dear Potatoes,

I hope all is well where ever you may be. I'm still travelling around the country of Poland. I have left the country and came to the city.

During my stay in the city, I have discovered how city potatoes live. I met these lovely folks down in the market place. It wasn't a big market, it was a small one near my other grandma's house. I went down with my family down to the market to buy some food for dinner. As I was passing by one of the stands I met a few young potatoes. They seemed cool so I stopped to talk to them. I discovered that these potatoes work hard. They all come from farms so they live the same lives as country potatoes, only they get packed away and brought either to stores or to little markets. Since we met in the market I'll tell you about their lives. They get picked from the ground and put into these crates. Later these crates are packed into a van. The van travels to the location of the market and then set up. The crates are arranged so the potatoes look attractive to the human eye. After being set up, humans come in and purchase them based on how much they weigh. I purchased some potatoes with my family and we brought them over for dinner. Later that day we had them for dinner.

It was a different meeting compared to the country potatoes but none the less it was exciting. I really hope to meet a few more potatoes in Poland. They are all sweet and romantic. Hopefully I'll meet some of you out there too. Let me know where you are and I'll try to meet you. 

Throwing potatoes your way,

Gabriela

The Legend of the Sack Race

Hi! Surely you've all participated in a sack race at one point in your lives right? I love that game but I love the story behind it even more! If you're not a potato like myself, then you've probably never heard of the story. It's one of my favourite potato legends so I'll share it with you! 

It goes like this...

In a farm far, far away during a time long, long ago, there lived the McPohtahtohs. The McPohtahtohs were a very well-known and loved wild potato family because even though they were upper class, they were very humble and they were always looking for ways to better the lives of other potatoes. One day, a group of farmers discovered how fine the McPohtahtohs are and so they decided to gather all of them into a sack to sell them. The other potato families could not bear to see this happen to the McPohtahtohs so they teamed up to help with the rescue of the McPohtahtohs. It wasn't hard to rescue them since the farmers were fast asleep during the whole operation. However the potatoes soon found out that little baby Timothy McPohtahtoh was missing. It did not take them long to find him because his remains were all over one of the farmer's face; it seems that he was taken as a snack! No potato could accept this. They wanted to make sure that this will never happen again. They wanted to make sure that the farmers will never come near them again. So, the potatoes worked together to put the farmers in the sacks so they will know how it feels to be in there. This woke the farmers up and scared them so they tried to escape the potatoes and instead of getting out of the sack first, they just hopped away while still on it. Unfortunately for them, there were other people driving by, who saw them and once these people got home they told others about how silly the farmers they saw looked and mocked them. This was the beginning of the classic sack race. As for the McPohtahtohs, they lived happily ever after. 

As you can see, potatoes suck at thinking of ways to get revenge. I guess it's because potatoes are naturally nice. Since we're half potatoes we are also naturally nice. We promise. So feel free to email us at cambrielapotato@gmail.com and follow us on twitter (cambrielapotato)!

Around the world

Hey hey potatoes! I'm not back yet but I managed to find some wifi. I noticed that Camille didn't post yet so I'll give you all an insight on the potato world from this side of the world. 

Currently I'm in Poland and had the chance to get to know a few potatoes. We met in the field not too far from my grandma's house. (Quite romantic) We then continued to get close as I pulled them out of the ground. After a few were rescued  from the clutches of the the wet dirt (rain isn't a good friend sometimes to potatoes..it gets dirt wet and it sticks to the potatoes) we went on romantic walk and then dinner. It was so beautiful. 

I'm currently trying to figure out the life of a potato in the city as the country potatoes were easy to find and very romantic. 

I'll try to post a picture or two as soon as I get back to my hometown.

Knock, knock

"Who's there?" you may ask. The bad news is that it's not Potina Atato (if you are not familiar with her you should read our post from the past "OH MY POTATO!!!!!!!"). The good news is that it's your favourite potato blobbers!

So we're here to give you a nice ending to your day (if you're still awake or a nice start your day if you live on the other side of the world), here are  some potato jokes!

Q: How do you describe an angry potato?

A: Boiling Mad!

Q: Why wouldn't the reporter leave the mashed potatoes alone? 

A: He desperately wanted the scoop!

"I think" said the sweet potato, "therefore I yam"

Q: What do you get when you cross a potato with an elephant?

A: Mashed potato!

Yeah we know these aren't any better than the last jokes we told you. But you just can't help but love bad jokes right? Once again, we did not make up these jokes. Okay bye! 

"Super Potato" teaches no values nor useful life skills

Fairytales are just great aren't they? They just never get old! We potatoes also have a few of our own! Here's one about two young potatoes named Mildred and Fredricton:

Once upon a time in a far, far away land lived two potato siblings named Mildred and Fredricton. They were told by their mother to gather some fertilizer. Unfortunately, there was no fertilizer nearby. They were already in lots of trouble because of a shovel incident so they couldn't face their mother without fertilizer. So Mildred and Fredricton decided to go to another farm to collect some. On that farm they see something unusual...a barn...is made up of lots and lots of clothes for potatoes and the theme song to their favourite show on the potalevision is playing... Being so young, they did not know better than to go and visit a completely strange place without protection from potential danger. After playing dress-up and watching about five episodes of "Super Potato" an elderly male carrot walks in the barn with a large bag. The young potatoes were always told to stay away from carrots but this one seemed so fragile and helpless so they decide to help the carrot. The three chat for a little while and  Mildred and Fredricton are about to leave with a cart full of fertilizer given by the carrot but the door was shut tight! At that time, the old carrot revealed himself to be a young and powerful sorcerer who cooks potatoes and gives them to humans in exchange of the secret potion that helps him maintain his   youth and gives him his powers. Mildred and Fredricton were on the verge of breaking down but they had to stay strong and think...think...think...An idea came to them! On an episode of "Super Potato" it was shown that love was a weakness of carrots, so the two young potatoes risked it all by running towards the carrot and giving him a great big hug.  This did not work because everything on "Super Potato" is made up. It was a good thing that the mother of Mildred and Fredricton was told by a neighbour that they thought they saw the children there. The mother was very angry and dragged the kids back home, where they were grounded. The carrot sorcerer was too amazed by the fact that the mother potato showed no fear to realize that they escaped. Ever since that day, Mildred and Fredricton learned that they should not go to unknown places by themselves and that they should just do as their mother says.

We hope that you enjoyed this classic and we hope that you understand the moral of the story!
