Realized this morning cooking hash browns that we needed a bigger pan. Had one, but it got worn, so we threw it out. I just bought this one, can't wait to use it.View attachment 478262

A family pan? You cook your entire family in it?

Hard times calls for extreme measures!

The Peace Center in Greenville has great concerts there in a fantastic venue. We haven’t been since Covid, but we’re hoping to go this coming season. SC is definitely nonchalant about Covid protocols, which is kinda annoying. Maybe if we get a second booster. We got off lightly the one time we got it (thank you, Atlanta airport), and I’d rather not roll the dice again. (Greenville Costco stuck to their guns throughout, and I admire the hell out of them for being willing to put up with the crap they were getting.)

Covid is over.

The perfect baked potato: wash a medium russet. Use a vegetable brush. Don’t remove the skin. Excise the eyes surgically. Put a piece of aluminum foil on the center of the lower rack (to receive any tater ooze). Put the second rack in the center position. Preheat to 400 degrees. Place the nekkid taters on the center rack. Bake for ~1 hour. Taters should be crispy on the outside, fluffy and moist inside.

lol wut

Tell the handbells director at my church that her 7 weeks of Covid and then post-Covid were all a dream. Granted, she didn’t have to be hospitalized.

No, I don’t currently mask, unless I see that people around me are uncomfortable, and then I wear one. But I will if the numbers keep going back up.

I discovered an air fryer cheat the other day, but it was for smallish russets (we’ve eaten the larger ones.)

Clean them as you wrote above, don’t pierce them, cover them in avocado oil and coarse sea salt, air fryer on 375° for 30 minutes. They were amazing - crisp skin and tender innards.

I’m going to try again with a “normal” grocery store potato, tweaking the time. Anything to avoid a 400° oven for an hour plus in August.

yer tater's too small, but you knew that already
you forgot the olive oil and sea salt
one day yer light's gonna come on, if your bulb haint gone bad

Edit: on a serious note, last Thursday was the first time the Sam's Club in JC has not had the big bag of their russet bakers...we went with yellow instead, which means a lot of mashed taters

these labels lie, like the Taco Bell party pack says it "feeds the family"

 

[volfanbill]

@volfanbill Look, something else you can buy at Costco!

If you think UT hit rock bottom at one point

Yikes

I can’t remember half of yesterday, and you expect me to remember a tater post from a year ago??

— thanks for the time and temp

I often skip posts to Souce. Any post involving Souce is usually pretty pointless, right?
