I have relatives or close-enough friends in the building and HVAC trades.
And I can (for now) handle my own wiring. Dunno how much longer I'll be
able to handle ladders or working on my knees. Getting back up really

That only makes sense. Too many live "in the moment" and don't think
ahead. Then when they stub a toe there is no safety net to prevent a
disaster.
Supper tonight is going to be simple. Popeyes is offering a BOGO on their
nice chicken sandwiches. I've got some creamy cole-slaw in the icebox
and I can nuke up a baked potato w/bacon bits, chredded Cheddar and, of
course, butter. A veritable banquet.
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Microwave Baked Potato
Categories: Five, Potatoes
Yield: 1 Spud
1 lg Russet potato
Salt & freshly ground pepper
Butter or sour cream; to
- serve
Wash potato thoroughly and pat completely dry. Pierce 3
to 4 times with a fork.
Place potato on microwave-safe plate and microwave 7
minutes, turning over halfway through cooking. If your
potato isn't fork-tender after 7 minutes, continue
microwaving in 1 minute increments until fully cooked.
Let rest for 2 minutes.
Split potato down the middle, being careful of steam.
Season with salt and pepper, and top with butter before
serving.
UDD NOTES: Sometimes I like to fork the potato near the
ends on opposite sides. This can make the potato spin
like a whirl-a-gig from the escaping steam. Besides the
butter and/or sour cream toppings I like to use shredded
cheese and/or bacon bits sometimes. Or salsa/pico di
gallo. Get inventive.
