I dunno Hayden, I tend to nuke for 10 min, then bake for 20 or so and they come out great, and it takes less than an hour so I'm happy. But I like my potato skins crispy and the insides creamy as butter (which is spread liberally upon them of course).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You people are killing me. It'll be about three weeks before mine's done.

Art Crawl!!!

It's convenient to have the microwave in the living room anyway -- if you want popcorn while watching tv - it's right there.

Apparently, Ashton Kutcher doesn't enjoy being pranked any more than Michael Vartan did.

What can I say? I'm a purist. I do spray 'em with olive oil when wrapping them in aluminum foil to crisp up the skins, but that's about it. Cooking meals usually takes me about an hour, anyway.

What is the title of the Garbage song with the lyrics "I would die for you.... I'd do time for you"?

#1 Crush, off of the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack.

What is even happening?

Why do people wrap the potatoes in foil. Mine get scrubbed, forked, and put straight on the rack, which yields very crispy skins.

Excellent. Good. So are all deep-fried things made sort of crispy on the outside? And how does this process affect Mars bars? Also, how deep does the oil need to be? Must the thing being deep-fried be immersed in the oil, or can it float at the top?

No. We weren't able to get ahold of Paul to find out about visiting hours and suchlike. Hopefully Paul will return our voicemail message sometime today, and then we can go visit tonight.
