A Spud Celebration


Copies of the new edition of TWO OLD POTATOES AND ME are now available and to celebrate Norton Stillman, the publisher of Nodin Press, and John Toren, the designer, and I went out for a celebratory lunch. That's Norton, who has been in the book business for fifty years, holding a copy of the book and John and me holding potatoes.

We were even able to include illustrator Carolyn Fisher's wonderful Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head portraits of me and her on the back cover of this edition.


Even though we have another snow storm on the way, it's just about potato planting time here.
Enjoy your spuds!

Congratulations John on a new edition of Two Old Potatoes! And I love the potato head portraits by Carolyn-- Hah! You all look very happy--but my garden is not so happy with more snow on the way-- I think it is still a month away for planting potatoes... luckily, I can still buy them in the store and now the bookstore too!

Lauren, fear not. We'll be able to plant in May and that will be plenty of time for spuds. We'll be digging in the garden soon.

Congrats! I love the Potato Heads. What is up with this weather? There's a blizzard outside my window...
