Basically a plastic potato

Good Afternoon Readers,
 
Some things you just cannot make up and this one fits in that category…

For lunch I brought something new which was in the form of a sweet potato.

Super excited! I ate my early breakfast and then had like a snack in the middle and then it was time.

I thought about that sweet potato for hours until finally noon hit!

Now let’s back up a minute – a little birdy – left me a note on the container saying to heat it for 8-10 minutes.

Seems quick and simple enough right?

WRONG! JUST WRONG! ALL WRONG!!

It was on the smaller side so I decided to go with 6 and then if it needed more time then it needed more time.

I made sure to slice it down the middle as best I could with a plastic knife before putting it in the microwave.

6 minutes goes by and DING!

Wait a minute or two for cooling purposes 😊

I get back to my desk stick my fork inside the slice and voila!

Cardboard inside, smoked on the outside. (That burning popcorn smell)

The outer skin was horrendously shriveled up and when I picked it up it was as light as a piece of paper.

Upon further investigation…this bag of steamer potatoes is supposed to be 8-10 minutes for the whole bag.
 
In other news…
 
On a more positive note, I passed four of my French lessons with a perfect score on Duolingo 😊

It was a good feeling!

I hope you guys are having a great day! Stay safe out there & as always, I appreciate ya!
