Peeling potatoes
Pulling it backwards
That side is sharper

Muscle memory
Chopping up the potatoes
Faster than I thought

Half stick of butter
Mashing by hand with masher
Made fluffy with milk

If you have extra, put black pepper on mine.

Mess hall memories
Peel them spuds until it hurts
Then peel a pile more

Touch, but don't look

Jack, you'd be amazed at how fast you can still peel them spuds... it is like riding a bicycle, your hands don't forget! Try it.
