Saturday Savory: Baked Potato

Another of Alton's recipes for you again. This one is probably one of his simplest recipes, as it has three ingredients only.

The only ingredients you will need to bake this are a potato, oil, and salt. Once it is baked, you
might want some butter, bacon, sour cream or cheese, but those are all optional. To start, preheat the oven to 350º F. and move the racks to the center. Now, here are the steps for this simple recipe:

Now, place the potato on the rack of the oven and let bake for around 1 hour. Alton stated in the book that a medium-sized russet potato should be cooked in 1 hour. To check for doneness, squeeze the potato gently (with gloves); if the outside is crunchy but the inside feels soft, it is done.

That is it! This recipe makes a great side to many dishes, including one I will share with you on Monday. Hope you liked this easy dish, and feel free to leave any comments in the comment section below or on Facebook.

    This was good, but not quite what we expected. You'd think it would be salty, but it wasn't that noticeable. It was tasty, and with some toppings it was quite good!

    Your photos turned out really nice! When I clicked the potato photo especially it was very clear.

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with snow.    My little horse must think it queer
