Tiny croquettes, maybe an inch long.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

“Not dead yet!”
Another concert reminiscence: Seeing Chris Botti at the Blue Note in NYC in December, where he plays for about three weeks every year. The night we went, it was just prior to his recording one of his concert specials, so they were essentially rehearsing. Including special guests Paula Cole and Sting, who both showed up unannounced. I was at a table about ten feet away from the stage.
Absolute magic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Except aren't the potatoes larger shreds in tater tots? And nothing inside.
Unless I'm thinking of the wrong kind of croquette.

Tater tots and croquettes are completely different to me. This is what I think of as croquettes:
And OMG, are they of the NOM and YUM. With perfectly fried eggs and a big slab of Cuban bread, it is my OTB.

Yeah, me too.
ita, have you had fast-food style hashbrown patties? Tots are like that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ugh. Don't like those. At least the times I've had them, the texture of the shreds of potato were too preserved. Whereas the croquettes were like mashed potatoes.
I should eat. I haven't done that yet today.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Tots are basically shreds compressed into a small nugget. I can see where it would be a weird texture thing.
And now I want tater tots. Preferably as nachotots.

Am packed aside from essentials we also need in the morning, have arranged pet care (still need to write out instructions), have straightened up all the bins I brought in yesterday (not easy to "hide" 10, 21 gal bins), and have laundry drying so it will be done when we return.
Still need to:

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Tater tots are always too hot to eat. And they violate my hard shell/gooey inside rule. But croquettes rule, I make 'em all the time.
