      Priceless. A very happy VD to you, without the need for penicillin, of course.

      Sniffle-sniffle! So much sentiment all at once!

      (Seriously, you’ve unloaded all your television industry cynicism and gone completely the other direction. Or… not. But it was lovely fun!)

      Happy Valentine’s Day, Karen & Fella!

    • Sue T.


      Thanks for the cute poem.

      Happy Valentine Day to a Lovely Lady and Her Fella !!

    • Moe


      LOL, oh my. What a great way to start my day. :)
      Happy Valentines Day to you and the fella.
      Do the girls get any special treats??
      I’m on a low carb plan right now so am trying to decide if we should go out to supper ( where I’ll have a greasy cheeseburger and onion rings ) or if I should stay home, cook creamed lobster, and stay somewhat legal. Honestly, I can’t decide.

      • Karen


        Moe – If you cook every night … go out. If you don’t cook a lot stay home w/ the lobster. I for one will be having foil wrapped cheeseburgers. Done. ~ karen

      Your ode to the potato is priceless!
      Happy Valentine’s Day!

    • sundeep @designwali


      now that is love.

    • Sarah


      I sometimes wonder why you’re not on a comedy circuit, somewhere. You have a certain flair for making the ordinary extraordinarily ridiculous! Thanks!

    • Mary Kay


      LOL – Thanks Karen Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your potatoe!

    • Debbie B


      Best VD poem ever!
      My ancestors came to Canada because of the Irish potato famine, so I just can not turn my back or butt away from them. It’s my way of justifying my inability to ignore them and I am sticking to it. Seriously anyone else hear the voices at the grocery store in the potato chip isle??

    • Feral Turtle


      You took the words right out of my mouth. Happy Valentines Day!

    • Anita


      It was like you were in my head expressing my love for carbs.

    • Maggie V


      Happy Valentines Day to you and the Fella Karen. May your day be filled with carbs. Cheers Maggie V

      “From my fork to my pie hole…”

    • Kathy Marsh

    • Kathy


      Karen, that Paleo diet has officially turned your mind to mush, haha. You are quite the poet!

    • Jodi T.


      I teared up a little bit. That was SO beautiful. Your way with words is just inspiring ;)

      HAPPY VALENTINES TO YOU TOO!

    • Diane A.


      Only you would ever come up with a love letter to carbs…woman after my heart. You’re my “go to” morning start – always feel better after talking with you!

    • Patti


      “I love you so much, and so does my butt.”

      Seriously? I’ve always wanted to design greeting cards – I may be in touch with you to get the rights to this line for the Valentine’s Day special!

    • Theresa


      Awwww, very sweet! I hope you have a very Happy V-Day!

    • Nancy Blue Moon


      Dearest Karen & Fella:

      You make me laugh
      You make me smile
      You make me cry
      Every once in a while

      I love your cats
      I love your chickens
      They are so funny
      Those little dickens

      Thank you for the joy you bring
      Thank you all for everything

      Can’t think of anything else that rhymes
      So won’t you be my Valentine

      Your loving admirer, Nancy

      Happy Valentines Day! XOXOXO

      “Crusty roll and rotting troll.”Amazing poetry Karen! Love it. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. Let’s all, enjoy our carbs tonight.

    • Shauna


      I love it! This is my kind of poem. we seem to have the same love affair with carbs. My acupunturist told me I want to consider ‘less inflammatory foods’. I asked, “like what” and he said, “like gluten-free”, I said, “you mean like no PASTA!!!” He said, “yes, like no pasta. shhh, this is a calm room” I scoffed and said, “no chance in hell. I’ll live with the pain.”

    • Alex


      I just ate some cheddar and potato perogies. You will pry carbs from cold dead hands. Kind of like my Wiser’s.

    • Thera


      • you need a like button :)

    • Brenda J. M

    • sera

    • karenagain


      Bread, crackers (Saltines), potatoes, rice. You are all the loves of my life in that order. Bread is the love of my life in all her forms. Except glutten free.
