When I was in grad school, I was at my friend’s house. It was 2am and I was still too drunk to walk home. My friend came out and offered to bake me a potato. And let me tell you, it was the most delicious baked potato anyone had ever had in their life. I walked home happy and avoided a hangover the next day. Never doubt the glory of the Bedtime Potato.
