Hey, you know what's improved the quality of life around Chez Zmayhem?

Tater Tots.

They satisfy all salty potato desires but since I bake them they don't have the same heart killing effect as chips or fries.

Also, they're one of the only foods that the vegetarian, the fussy toddler, and the junk foodie teenager will happily eat.

Also, the Safeway store brand knockoff tots are just as good as the brand name and half the price. As it turns out there is no secret ingredient. It's just potatoes.

Anyway, I offer unto you this tiny bit of life enhancement: tater tots.

You know, when the frozen potato products were on sale, I bought some tots and some fries, and the fries were a huge mistake! Once I make myself finish them, I need to get some more tots.

Oh, but my real point was: I'm sure Scrappy will look great on TV, and I hope that lady buys msbelle's place!

I have had tater tots at Chez Zmayhem, and they are indeed teh awesome!

ita, I hope you got the treatment you need and are feeling better. A pox on the dickish nurse.

In NO we had a revelation of an appetizer - tater tachos. Just like nachos, but with tots as the base. So much yum.

First concert, NKOTB. Best concert, Sting with Natalie Merchant opening in Toulouse, general admission. I was 20 ft from his yoganess. Also, third row for Sigur Ros was pretty much a transcendent experience.

After all my Walmart issues, I just spent a record amount at Target, which is little better if any. Ecofail. I plead Liberty.

The tot is indeed one of the more fantastico forms of the potato.

Oh my. I now know what my life has been lacking.

They're like magic food! I need to go build a teleporter made entirely out of tater tots, transport myself to MiracleMan's house, yell "In your face, Joe!" then disappear in a puff of starchy goodness.

Thank you for the kind words and letting me vent. I know it's stupid to even think about. Before any important event, and the body image demons come after me about clothes and weight and all lame, shallow stuff. Once the event begins, however, I tend to just forget about them and have a good time.

Tater tots rule!

Thanks, guys.

Unfortunately I did not get useful treatment, but hopefully I can get my migraine specialist to make some noise so next time I go in won't be so bad. Although, if it's dick nurse again, I'm pretty much SOL.

Are tater tots like croquettes? We used to have those a fair amount in England, and they were delicious. I don't know that I've ever had tater tots.

Tiny croquettes, maybe an inch long.
