I've been tracking this package for almost a week, wondering what the heck my Secret Santa sent me from Idaho that has a listed shipping weight of 22lb. One of my friends even said, "I bet it's 22lb of potatoes." Well, it actually is 22 pounds of potatoes from an Idaho potato farm. And I love it.

This is a wonderful gift because 1) I burst out laughing when I opened the box (opening a heavy box to find it filled with potatoes is just a truly absurd experience), and 2. I REALLY like potatoes. I'm so excited to make different recipes and eat lots of potatoes in the near future.

I'm a little worried because I'm a single lady, and I just calculated that 22lb is about 16-17% of my body weight. I hope I can use them all before they start sprouting roots. Please, anyone with a good (vegetarian) potato recipe, post it!

Yes, this really happened, and yes, I'm REALLY excited! Thank you Secret Santa!!
