Threw some baked potatoes on coals while grilling a steak tonight. Served with butter sour cream, cheddar cheese salt pepper and green onions is always great.

To cook drive an aluminum potato nail through the center, wrap them in foil and place directly on the coals. Cook them for 50 minutes turning once. Less time for small potatoes.

Baked potato + Salt + Pepper + Chives + Sour Cream + Bacon + Melted cheddar.

That is better.

Shit bros, trying to get 3 more kittens adopted. One was adopted yesterday.

Had a petite sirloin steak with broccoli and the veggie medley at TGIFridays of all places. No butter. Pretty solid meal though. Lots to eat with little hit to the body. Steak gave me my protein and all the veggies made for a low calorie entertaining meal while the rest ate their potatoes, fries, etc.

2 weeks ago I bought a 15lb bag of russets for $3.99 and it's almost finished.

I'll take a single piece of salmon sashimi over a baked potato any day.
