i love this so much. esp: "When we returned, chilled and wet, the house smelled of baking potatoes – earthy, toasted, a bit sweet", always excited by how you pull moments like these from life and freeze them. Also love you and Melek sitting on a bench eating wraps, wished i could've been there. thanks for this post!

I currently have a potato baking in the oven which will be topped with baked beans, 'extra mature' cheddar and Tabasco in about, ooh, twenty minutes. I used to buy those big tins of Glenryck pilchards (in brine) and mix the drained contents with mayonnaise for a potato topping. A treat I enjoy less nowadays due to the pilchard in brine being usurped on the supermarket shelves by the canned in tomato variety which is less appealing, especially if mixed with mayo. Rinsing helps.
