anti-rice campaign #2: full metal jacket potato

this time around, its fruits and vegetable.. salad made from diced red and green apples, diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and held together with thousand island dressing and for the main course a huge jacket potato.. made with russet potato, of course. boiled first then split in the middle and baked with garlic butter, then stuffed with more butter and leftover bolognaise sauce, sprinkled with cheese and salami bits then grilled again to melt the cheese... and finished with a dash of cayenne pepper. the salad.... the jacket potato

the pasta sauce complemented the baked potato nicely in terms of flavours and to have the melted cheese together with the salami bits in each bite was the highlight..

the "piece the resistance".

my compliments to the chef.. sprinkled with cayenne.. which gave it an extra "zing"

and, i was pleasantly surprised that the potato was quite filling

a simple and yet satisfying meal.

who says salads have to be boring

no one seems to like to eat the way i do at home.. maybe i'm weird... maybe they're weird.. :-P anyhoo, i had a bottle of italian salad dressing and a bag of lettuce.. and so i was thinking.. why not make a simple salad like that french lady on the food channel.. looks like its salad week... version#1 bowl of lettuce + shredded chicken meat + a handful of crushed bbq potato chips with a few dashes of the italian salad dressing version#2 bowl of lettuce + croutons made from 1 sliced bread + 3/4-boiled egg sprinkled with cayenne pepper and toppped with the italian salad dressing...
