I've been making grilled cheeses with parmesan lately, along with a fried egg and some ham. This is wonderful

Putting the cheese on top of the lettuce is specifically weird about the Spongebob burger order. I'm telling you though, it actually works out flavorwise.

You have to thaw the cheese because you're not going to be melting it. I have two slices of cheese and 2/3 lb of ground chuck sitting on the counter right now. It doesn't even take an hour thawing

My baked potato fu has improved

- Big fat Idaho russet
- Wash that sucker
- Roll it in a bowl of water with salt added (i.e., "salt water")
- Poke holes in it with a fork
- 50 minutes in the oven right on the rack at 450
- Remove, and brush that sucker all over with olive oil. Note how nice and crunchy the skin is getting already
- Back in the oven right on the rack at 450, for 10 more minutes
- Say hello to your yummy potato baby
- Give it a name
- Butter cheese etc.

Jollibee's opened here

The line was 50 people out the door



The fried chicken is fine, not incredible, but good, but the thing is that it comes with this gravy that is bonkers. The gravy is mushroom-based, like the gravy that goes on a Salisbury steak. It's wonderful

The chicken sandwich is extremely good, mostly because of the unique sauce on it. If I go again then this sandwich will be why

They have a peach-and-mango pie that is like a McDonald's apple pie, but I think it's much better

A specialty drink they have is a pineapple-ade drink that's really good

I made a pumpkin pie, for the first time, and it was pretty good, but I don't think it was as good as the Publix ones. Mine was a little sweeter and a little less of something else. I think I'll try again but with brown sugar instead of white sugar

Oh yeah so I've taken to rolling these in olive oil from the get-go, and also rolling it in Badia Sazon Completa seasoning, which just means "complete seasoning" and is a blend of garlic powder onion powder salt black pepper and I'm not sure what all else. This is amazing and makes the skin get really crunchy

Let me amend the instructions

- Big fat Idaho russet
- Wash that sucker
- Poke holes in it with a fork
- Roll it in olive oil and then a seasoning blend, I use Badia Sazon Completa, or you can just use salt if you're not a low sodium person like me
- 50 minutes in the oven right on the rack at 450, preheating the oven is not necessary
- Remove, and pour olive oil on it again, but not so much that it's going to drip all over the inside of your oven. Note how nice and crunchy the skin is getting already.
- Back in the oven right on the rack at 450, for 10 more minutes
- Say hello to your yummy potato baby
- Give it a name
- Butter cheese etc.

i googled the type of potaspo doug described and i couldnt find a biG one like that in the store here, so i got four (four) small potoooooooos and baked those

it was pretty alright, i think i could have done better but im not dissatisfied. i will continue learning and look forward to trying again next time

if you're in some kind of potato thing you should try an old family recipe of mine:

bake a potato. open the potato with a fork. put some cheese on top. that's it
