I cannot bear it when people microwave jacket potatoes, do you know how long it takes to cultivate a potato? And then we wreck in ten minutes...
Okay, wash potatoes. Then smear with olive oil and Maldon sea salt.
Sling in the oven on 220degrees, for an hour.
You will have the crispest, most delcious tasting spuds ever and if any person is on a low sodium diet, the sea salt can be scraped off before diving into all that fluffiness.
Salad dressing.
Takes three minutes.
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Honey
Mustard (Dijon, I use for this)
Creme fraiche.
All in a jar with a lid on, shake. If too oily, add a dash of vinegar, if too vinegary, add more honey, takes some fiddling around with, but fabulous to get it to taste just right. No more bottles of bought stuff in the fridge.
I'll do more.
Do you know what my landlady made for me today? Cheese and Onion pie like we used to have in the North... Oh I died and went to heaven.
Give us your recipes folks...
Keep it simple, though. I don't do measuring, I do tasting and guessing, for everyday food, only baking. Too hot to bake.
