My Train of Thought ...

Whenever I bake a potato I always make sure I poke A LOT of holes in it,
because ever since my mother read the Little House series to me when I was young
and I heard the story of Almonzo getting a face full of searing hot baked potato ...
I have been afraid of exploding potatoes.
True Story.
There has never been a time that I have cooked a potato
and not thought about poor Manly's burned face.

I baked some potatoes for dinner yesterday and had this very same thought. I always think about it!
