Dear fellow US Chileheads and Tomato Fanatics:

I just found out that an Idaho potato grower's organization has 
donated 20 million pounds of surplus Idaho Russet potatoes to 
Second Harvest, the group that distributes food to food banks 
across the country. The catch is that someone has to pay the 
shipping and handling costs. A $15.00 donation will pay shipping 
and handling for 250 pounds.

We always try to grow an extra row of veggies for our local food 
bank, but think this is a pretty good idea too. If you're interested, 
check out http://www.potatoharvest.org which will take you to the 
web site.

Since chiles, tomatoes and potatoes are all members of the same 
family, consider this on-topic<VBG>
