How I Celebrated

I was going to do twice baked potatoes, but it was just too hot. Once baked was enough! It has been a while since I had baked potatoes with the fixings, and it was awesome. I just remembered that in China while I was teaching, the 7th graders thought the word potato was really funny. I guess it was just an inside joke I was not part of. If they were calling me a potato, I should have been offended cause I am NOT from Idaho. Also, soft serve from a fast food place always puts a smile on my face!
