Amazingly good! These should be called roasted potatoes because the roasted flavor really shines through. The potato skins are wonderfully flavored. Add the sweetness of the roasted onions and this is a real winner. I may never "bake" potatoes again. This will probably be served at my next dinner party.

Behold, the worst picture of me ever taken, I think. I'm in distress over the paint color that you see behind me, and am suffering from brain scramble after looking at too many potential paint colors over a very short amount of time. However, it's one of those "me, now" pics that amuse me, so I figured I'd share. Onward...
Hi there! Self description always throws me, but I'll try: I'm a hyper, writing, Yoga-practicing, fashion-loving, almost-constantly-reading, very Type A, highly domestic ovo-lacto vegetarian who is obsessed with Nutella and has a very personable German Shepherd/Husky mix named Totsi. I think that just about covers it.
Sometimes, everyone needs a little Totsi, so here she "bee":
