Along came the potato…

Everyone remembers the grilled cheese sandwich that resembled the Virgin Mary.

I’m very pleased to bring you …

The Smiley Face Boiled Potato

It seemed like a regular evening with me making dinner while being asked 1000 questions (Can I have a cookie? Can I have a banana? Where is the baby? Can I have a cookie? When is dinner? Can I help you? What’s for dinner? Will you make me something else? Can I watch TV in here? Can I have koolaid? Is tomorrow a schoolday? Can I sit by you at dinner? Is the applesauce cold? Can I have a cookie?).  A regular Sunday dinner of fried chicken, fresh rolls and mashed potatoes, me foolishly thinking of ways to get my kids to try the asparagus.

But when I dumped the potatoes from the pressure cooker into the mixing bowl, there was the cutest little smile looking up at me.  Needless to say I DID NOT mash that sucker!

I don’t expect my tater to fetch the $28,000 that the grilled cheese went for. Starting bid is $5! (LOL- yes I am aiming high – - – very high!)

(One more pic, to clarify the size of my piece of potato)

    I think you can fetch a higher price if you say it is “Smiling Jesus potato”

    Sad news… it didn’t sell.

    I should re-list it and try again.

    Do you think it needs to have longer hair to be called a Jesus Potato? Who in the Bible was bald?
