To Idaho, With Love.

Dear Mr. Idaho Potato Farmer,
I can't tell you enough how grateful I am for all that you do to ensure that folks over here in my parts have a wonderful crop of potatoes to purchase and cook with. As I dumped 5# of your delicious produce into my sink, the smell of dirt overcame me, and I felt connected to the very hands that planted, grew and cultivated this wonderful staple crop. As I scrubbed, and peeled and cubed...I thanked God for you and your place in this world.
Cheers to you, dirty potatoes, and the Ham and Bean Soup they are to enhance.
God Bless,
Jamie
