What does it say...

[gnomi]

...that, as I eat the leftovers from last night's dinner (in this case, grilled chicken, baked potato, and a veggie medley of carrots, broccoli, green beans, and zucchini), the first thing I'm drawn to is the (now cold; no kosher heating-up equiment here in the office) baked potato? Those of you who have eaten dinner with MAB and me in the past, say, six months know that I'm on a serious baked potato binge - I order one almost every time we go out - but that doesn't explain why I'm completely and totally ignoring the chicken in preference for the potato.

Eh, who knows. Perhaps my body's craving something. Perhaps I'm pining for the potatoes of Passover.

(Perhaps that last sentence had too many "p"s in it)

Possibly. :-)

(I'm always thrilled when friends will play alliteration games with me. Yeah, I'm just that much of a word geek.)

oooh. while in NOLA, i picked up a copy of the book the professor and the madman about the making of the OED, and that crazy guy.

i've only read the indtroduction so far.

The Professor and the Madman is a wonderful book. Simon Winchester, the author, has also written another history of the OED, The Meaning of Everything. It, too, is an excellent book.

Then maybe you're even pining for the potassium in the potato pancakes of Passover.

Potentially. :-)

Particularly in the peels?

Primarily. Peels provide prodigious pleasure. :-)
