Almanzo and his sister are helping their father harvest potatoes on a freezing morning. They put a potato in the coals of the fire to bake, and as they stand there warming their hands - POW! It explodes and gets one of 'em in the eye!!! (I forget who.) It's a great lesson on the power of steam for my preschoolers. :) The exploding potato scene is one of the most exciting sections in Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

I'm going right home and baking a potato w/o foil (I'm a foiler too). How did the non-exploding, non-wrapped potatoes taste? Could you tell any difference? COOL!

I didn't know that either. I've never had that happen. Do show the results of the oven cleaning. I wish I had a self-cleaning oven. Hm. I didn’t know that either. I’ve never had that happen.
