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>
