In my spare time.

People are looking for the potato extract that they need for their experiment. Only it turns out that the "extract" they left for me was... a big honkin Idaho potato. Just sitting right there on the bench. I look around and see a blender. OK, I figured, we'll just puree it with some water. That results in a nice chunky suspension of... pureed potato. Chunky potato puree equals not potato extract. Puree's don't work in a spectrometer.
