Movie Time #67: Boyhood (2014)

▶️ Today’s film is a drama and it’s a little bit special. It took 11 years to make because the director wanted to show the main character growing up without choosing different actors. The plot is decidedly random as the film provides a deeper glimpse (=quick look) into American society.

World Food #19: Jacket Potatoes from the 🇬🇧UK

▶️ Here’s a welcome break from the awfulness of English food. Hot and yummy, fresh out of the oven, that’s how I like my Jacket Potato! Boring people also call this dish “Baked Potato”.

... made with:
Well obviously potatoes. Bigger is better but also takes longer in the oven. Oh and it should not be peeled (=taken the peel off).

... eaten with:
Butter is a must, let it sink in and melt. Then apply (here =put) baked beans (=canned beans in a light tomato sauce) and cheddar cheese (=an English hard cheese) – that’s the standard recipe. But you can be creative and add whatever you like. Favourites are sour cream, forbidden meat, fried onions, vegetables and herbs (=small aromatic plants for cooking).

Healthy or not? 🟢
Easy to make? 🟢
Cheap enough? 🟢
