Tentacles

Have you ever been scubadiving?


Say....in a coral reef. Where there are long tentacle-like arms swaying in the water?



It's a TOTALLY different world! No gravity, nothing looks familiar -

I recommend you do it, at least once in your life - it really is magical.



And I'll try not to leave a 50 lb bag of potatoes under the stairs for 3 months.



Now that's freaky!

THAT...IS...AWESOME!!!

You should go plant those in your backyard and bring a touch of Idahodiness to your neck of the woods.

I have been having some really weird, vivid dreams lately. Here you are adding fuel to the fire.

Jessica said...

Nicole said...

I had the exact same thing in my basement a couple weeks ago! I looked up on the internet how to freeze potatoes, and found that they should freeze well if you cook them first then freeze. There were still some good taters from my fifty lb. bag of sprouts so I spent a few days just cooking mashed potatoes and freezing it. Made a few batches of homemade fries as well. Yum.

That is freaky and love that you showed what happens when we leave things like that stranded!

In the word's of Katie:
Oh my glory!

That is the exact reason why we told my dad to stop brining us down potatoes when he came to visit.

are you kidding me??? that is too, too funny! so i'm guessing you bought those right when you moved in? who would have thought you could grow a potato farm under your stairs!

Vicki said...

Haha! They are reaching out to get YOU!!!

If it wasnt the middle of winter still, i'd totally go plant those suckers in a corner in your backyard-- and you'd get some fresh potatoes by mid summer!

(And yes, ive swam in the big blue ocean with that stuff.....super cool.....tho they weren't potatoes!)

Rae said...

WOW!!!!!!! Too funny!! Love how you tied your potatoes into scuba diving! :)

carey said...

Oh my gosh, this might just give me nightmares!!!!!!!!!!!!

suz said...

Too funny! Unfortunately I know from experience that if you left them for three more months they would be mushy, pinkish, and smell REALLY bad!

sardufour said...

Ha ha, that is hilarious!! You inspired me to look in my fridge and find a disgusting bag of red potatoes I've been neglecting and several were pretty slimy and mushy! That cracks me up!

Alex Woodall said...

That makes potatoes seem very appetizing!

OUR STORY said...

Emily you crack me up!! I never knew they would do that though. I better go throw mine away that have been in my pantry for about a month or so so they dont turn into that.

Lindsay said...

I bet there's more than a potato farm growing in there! Bleeekkkk! what the heck, would you just talk to me? I've been gone forever now and you should at least call me or something, don't be so rude!

Holy Cow Emily,
That is a science project if ever I saw one. You deserve an award of somekind! I scrolled down and watched the video of your oldest reading at three. I have a million questions for you, first question,
do you have him on a program or did you teach him using your own methods or did he teach himself?
Please let me know, I just know my Brooktyn is itching to read and don't quite know where to start!
