Baked Potatoes

I really like baked potatoes! 

I wonder though, what toppings a person chooses says about that person? I also wondered if people who read my blog could guess what I choose to put on my potatoes? Now, you might be thinking that that is ridiculous. How could someone guess just by reading a blog, what a person puts on their potato? Well, if you think about it, it really isn't all that ridiculous. We make judgments about people all the time, even those who we have never met. It is said that it is hard to read peoples emotions and the true tone of a post... I don't think it is as hard as people say, even for those people. In a post, you don't have inflection of voice like you would even over a phone. You don't have any facial expressions to go with it either... However, I think that when posts are made online, particularly somewhat anonymously, people are more honest with their words. Therefore, the other indicators of mood or tone are not as needed.

Back to potatoes! I thought about asking people what they thought I put on my baked potatoes but then I realized that I only know of 2 people who read my blog.. So far only one of those 2 people have commented (Thank you Kim). So I will just go ahead and tell you. Now, a warning, my kids think it is really gross so others might as well.. I take no responsibility for anyone who can't handle it! I like a lot of stuff. In no particular order of absolute necessity... but must have the 1st 3!

1. Sour Cream
2. Shredded Cheese
3. Salsa
4. Cottage Cheese
5. Sauteed onions and mushrooms.

With all of the above I don't really need butter, salt and pepper but sometimes I throw those on as well. My potatoes look more like some sort of soup with a potato in the middle somewhere... Kind of like 'baked potato surprise'... lol.. Anyways, maybe I will add a picture some time... 



By the way, baked potato bars rock! They are fun and easy for parties too.. Just get a bunch of potatoes and either throw them in the oven, or microwave... Set up a bunch of toppings for people to choose from and let them have at it...  What do you like on your baked potato?
