Jill,

I see the stuffed kind like you mention on restaurant TV ads all the time
and they look delicious! It's just the skin throws up a mental flag from my
youth. Even baked potatoes I cut in half and flat side down, squeeze out
the pulp and throw away the skins.

Except for foods I REALLY can't stand, that's about as anal as I get when
it comes to food nowadays.

I'm OK if foods touch on the plate.

I'll never put ketchup on hot dogs.

Will eat Wonderbread upon request.

Likes cats.

Andy
