Jacket Potatoes

  If you've ever been to England, then I am sure that you've heard of the jacket potato aka baked potato.  There is nothing better than something warm on a cold day, and instead of selling hot dogs on the street corners, the English sell jacket potatoes.  B/c I'm not super patient, I created  a jacket potato inspired dish sans baked potato.  :/  Baked potatoes are great, but since I didn't want to wait an hour to eat, I just boiled a few potatoes whole and then chopped them up.  The final product came out not too shabby.  ;)

Potato and Watercress Soup

  I bought 3 bunches of watercress from the Asian market and about the only thing that I wanted to do with it was make a soup!  So, I did.  I did a little research and found this recipe online.  It's pretty basic, but I wanted to make sure the flavor of the watercress came through.  Like always, I made a few changes of my own.  :)
