Potato Bar


R-
I was treated to a Mothers Day Potato Bar tonight. I don't think that you've experienced the Potato Bar, although I'm sure that you've heard about Mike's specialty. It involves many stages and the results are always over-the-top delicious. Mike is very particular about how he bakes his potatoes - he doesn't let me in the kitchen during the preparation process, mostly due to the amount of oil used to get the perfect crispy skins to compliment the soft fluffy interiors. The potato bar consists of a multitude of toppings; in addition to your basic baked potato toppings he makes things such as asparagus sauteed with pine nuts and balsamic vinegar, various types of beans, cheeses, sauteed mushrooms, shrimp.. The list goes on. So now I'm in post-bar satiation; which necessitates a couch and the forgiving stretch of yoga pants.

  2. What's in the pink sippy cup Mike?? A prepared Dad may have spiked it to ensure a full mother's night sleep ;)
