On Thanksgiving, we couldn’t bear to slice and roast this huge homegrown potato face. Nor could we boil and mash it. So we pardoned it. I’d like to claim we did it in the tradition of pardons given for poultry on Thanksgiving, but it was nothing that grand. We just couldn’t bring ourselves to do it in.

Too funny! It does look like a face. It would have made me pause as well.
Thanks, Jason. I’m thinking now, maybe I should save it and replant those eyes in the spring.
