Flashback Friday - The Exploding Potato

Last night, I made jacket potatoes for dinner. I love mine with butter, cheese, baked beans, and once in a while, I will top it with a fried egg. DELICIOUS!

Every time I make jacket potatoes, I always think about my Aunt Les - who may kill me for this post - this is her oven in the picture.

We were sitting in her living room, watching TV, when we heard a bang. A very loud bang that came from the kitchen. When we opened the oven, this is what we saw. One of the potatoes had, as you can see, exploded! 

I don't know why it was so funny, or why this memory has stuck out over countless others, but I love this memory. I told my Aunt not to do anything until after I took a picture. I still giggle just thinking about it.  
Here is a tip for making jacket potatoes. Don't forget to prick the potatoes BEFORE putting them in the oven to bake :)

just a side note my aunt is a really good cook, and two of my favorite dinners that she makes are bacon pasta and veggie curry. In fact we have her make bacon pasta when she comes to visit.

I have so many memories with my family from all those trips I took to England. I am seriously so ready to go back for another visit. 

here are some more pictures from my trip back in 2006
