Food Field Trips, Friday 9/27 2nd Period

“Today,” Stark said once everyone was assembled at the customary meeting spot at Portalocity, “we’re going to Idaho to visit the Idaho Potato Museum.”

Because potatoes were wonderful, okay?

“Where they ‘ strive to educate people about the Idaho Potato and the Potato Industry.’ I’m not sure why Idaho potatoes are different than any others but perhaps the museum will tell us. The claim is that Idaho is the ‘potato capital of the world’ so that must mean something? I’m not entirely certain where Idaho is, either, but the portal will take us there so I don’t need to.”

Putting a lot of trust in those gnomes, Stark.

“So, let’s go to Idaho. And learn about why their potatoes are so wonderful and about potatoes in general, I suppose. And we’ll eat some potatoes. Of course.”

What kind of a monster would take people to a museum about potatoes that didn’t serve potatoes?

"We did when we took Lana's class that one time," Steven said. "Saw other words, flew in spaceships, that sort of thing. Don't know that it appeals to me for holidays? But I didn't think to ask Llewellyn, so that's a good idea."

"There are beautiful places out there," Stark said. "All over the universe. Universes. But it's not for everyone. There are some lovely places I've been."

Sure, some of those places had been destroyed but hey, these things happened.

"And Summer's visited any number of worlds. There is a very nice spa she likes to visit..."

"Llewellyn and I have done resorts," Steven said. "Don't know if that's the same as a spa. Earth bound, though."

"It has a hotel," Stark said. "Restaurants. I took her there for her birthday last year. She'd taken me before. I don't think there's anything on this planet quite like it."

"Last - that was the one before Ireland?" Steven checked to be sure he was remembering right.

Stark nodded. "It was. Ireland was this year."

He was really going to have to work to outdo that for next year.

"Did I tell you I found a club to take her to there, called Copper Face Jack's? When I found it looking for things to do I knew we had to at least visit."

"Oh that's fun," Steven said. He gestured at his face. "A mask? Like yours?"

Where Steven was from one could not rule out someone named Jack whose face was made of actual copper.

"Just a nickname. No mask. But I couldn't resist. I wanted to tell her when I found it but I waited until we were there. For a surprise."

"Did she appreciate it?" Steven asked.

He would have. But he liked word play.

"She did." Stark grinned. "She appreciated all of it. The whole trip."

"Wonderful," Steven said. "Glad it all worked out then. If we do a holiday to Ireland perhaps I'll ask if you've any recommendations then."
