Baked Potato

As you might have gathered from the fact I have started writing a 'food blog' of sorts, I like to think of myself as a cook.

So it may come as a surprise to know that today, at 28 years, 7 months and 20 days old (yes I worked this out just now, it's not something I keep track of!), was the first day I baked a potato.

I was surprised by two things. 1. How easy it was. 2. How good it tasted.

I gave up eating potatoes years ago for the simple, if lazy, reason that I hate peeling them. I hate it. With a peeler, a knife, whatever. I hate it.

Anyway, tonight I put a couple of baking potatoes in the oven for 3 hours at 150 degrees centigrade and they turned out just scrumptious. With a generous knob of butter and a sprinkling of salt it made a yummy addition to our dinner. Skin and all.

Have you rediscovered anything simple but wonderful recently?
