If you are rich enough to eat junk food, fine. But this list never has appreciated SPAM!!! And it's obvious you are a low life scum spammer. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

What is funny, they actually show the potatoes and Spam in a recipe on the web page. |

"James Silverton" wrote: I've never tried a reheated baked potato but was the original cooking conventional or nuking? If conventional, it might be interesting to try. James Silverton I've made extra baked spuds (and yams) on the wood grill or in the oven. They are just fine re-heated in the nuker. But I just don't see the point in purchasing pre-cooked "baked" potatoes. If I am time challenged (which I am during the week), I cook extra on weekends. Both dad and I are perfectly happy to live on nuked leftovers for a day or three. I try not to make leftovers that last more than 3 days as we both tend to get bored with them. I'll just go ahead and cook when I get home from work on Thursday and Friday mornings... Things like eggs and stuff. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

Bagged ones are even cheaper. I believe he is referencing the price for the shilled industrial potatoes. |

If you wash a 10 pound bag of potatoes in 5 minutes, you are saving $44 in minutes or equal to $220 an hour. I have to work over a half a day to earn that so I'm not going to give it up for pre-washed spuds. -- Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome/ |

You are right. It is an incredibly intense and physical operation and it does take a large amount of time to wash a potato. Sometimes I start in the afternoon and it is sunset before I am finished washing potatoes. LOL It makes far more sense to buy frozen potatoes as used in industrial national restaurant chains so we can enjoy that same mediocre quality and convenience at home. |

I think I calculated $50 US for 10lbs , ie $5 /lb or 2.50/lb, seems way OTT Steve Just this AM drove into town cause I had banking to do, and got my mail from my POB, and gased up my guzzler, stopped at the liquor store for a 2 litre bottle each Crystal Palace vodka n' gin (sqwertz will orgasm), and walked next door to the local Grand Union; got a 30 can case of Genessee cream ale, eight 2 liter jugs black cherry soda, 4 bottles quinine, and a 5lb bag of new potatoes, was on sale (if it's a sale) $2.49... was a mountain high stack right inside the door, looks like very nice spuds, they're those long ones... will make a lovely batch of German style potato salad. I't too hot now to light the oven for anything.... I don't do baked potatoes during the warm months and not all that often during winter either, I typically buy the waxy potatoes as I prefer them roasted... just scrub well, towel dry, lightly oil, salt and pepper. Spread em in a big pan and roast until toasty brown and puffed.... it's 91F and humid, but I just got a sudden urge for meat loaf, gravy, and roast new potatoes... will have to wait. I got left over grilled chick tiddy and squash... got about a pound of green beans I picked yesterday too, but I think those are slated for freezing, will be good in a winter soup. I ain't gonna pay anyone to roast my potatoes, that's like buying ice in the winter. Sheldon |
