"It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes."

Truly, you can not solve any problems with just potatoes.
You need to take the potatoes and work some fermenting magic on them through the distillation process until you get vodka.
And then you take the lovely, lovely vodka and do marvelous things with it. You can make cocktails with exotic names like Harvey Wallbanger or Hot Throbbing Banana. You can make a wild assortment of martinis using infused and plain vodkas; my personal favourite is the Nectar of the Gods Martini concocted by the Martini Goddess herself.
And you can infuse your own vodka in ways that make your friends think you've gone off your head.
Yes. This is about the bacon vodka. Unfortunately, it's almost all gone - I've used it for cocktails rather than martinis. I could not bring myself to make a Bacontini.
Let me tell you, it makes a pretty wicked Bloody Mary! The bacon added a nice aftertaste; it was like a bacon and tomato sandwich but without the bacon fibers stuck between your teeth to be pried out later. The Bloody Caesar was not quite as successful though; after the first few sips the bacon fought with the clams, and trust me when I say that neither was victorious.
I've done some more bacon-infused vodka, as well as some other flavours, thinking to bring them to the Martini Goddess's house for a tasting sometime in the summer, when we can sit on her back deck and sip delicious concoctions while figuring out how to create a lasting peace for the Middle East.
See? You CAN solve life's problems with potatoes!
