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? 🟢

Know Yourself #8: How to reach flow

▶️ When we have to do important work we face two enemies – distraction (=not being able to concentrate because sth is disturbing you) and procrastination (=not doing important things on time). One is the enemy from outside, the other from within. But then there are times when we’re productive and getting work done doesn’t even feel hard. That’s called “flow”. Watch this video by TED Ed to find out what it takes to reach flow.
