Cutting baked potatoes in half before cooking, on the other hand, results in delicious crunchy sides as well as the skins.

Weāve had a Sudden (and brief) visitation from Sudden Daughter, who tested negative for covid yesterday (weekly testing at work) but had a slight cold today and has been sent home until Tuesday. She stopped off on the way past to have a mug of coffee and take away the casserole I bought for her about four years ago and she hasnāt wanted until now.

Gawd bless it and all who braise in it.
While it is always hurrah! for sudden Sudden Daughter visitations, I do hope she has not left you her cold.
I am cooking chicken for me (wiv mustard) and the Oaf (wivvout).I shall also have cauliflower cheese and green beans - Eugene Oaf (careful with those claws!) wonāt get a look-in there. Although a Former Cat would steal French beans from our plates given half a chance.
