> [@Daddie](#):
>
> For your “baked” potato, wrap it up in some saran wrap.
> 
> Throw it in a bowl of water, make sure the water goes up about 3/5’s the way up the side of the potato.
> 
> Nuke for 5 minutes.
> 
> Flip potato. Nuke for 4 minutes.
> 
> Done.
> 
> Be VERY VERY careful, that potato is gonna be scolding. But it will taste and have the consistency of a real baked potato.
> 
> I vote caramelized onions and mushroom over either pork chops or steak.
> 
> Cut 4 large onions in 1/2, then lay on flat part, cut in 1/2 again, then take the 1/4s and cut them so you are getting thin “rainbows.”
> 
> Fry in some olive oil (more olive oil if you are using a cast iron / not-nonstick pan).
> 
> When onions begin to disintegrate into smaller pieces, throw a can of chicken stock, some chopped up rosemary, a little salt. Let simmer.
> 
> Put some corn starch in it, but BE CAREFUL, do not put too much. Add as much as you want to achieve the consistency you want. (should be kinda thickish).
> 
> If it gets to dry, add a little more chicken stock (broth).
> 
> Cook your meat just enough without drying (medium rareish) and then throw it in a super hot oven real quick (I’m talking 500 degrees, as close as you can get to the flame/burner) 1 minute, let the outside crisp. Flip around and do the same for the other side.
> 
> Put caramelized onions on top.

Now that sounds good. _goes home to eat leftovers_
