Bless my little heart, I tried cooking again. This doesn't look too hard, does it? It's a glorified baked potato, for crying out loud.

Somehow, I managed to mess it up...badly.

First off, cloves of garlic? Who do they think I am, Buffy the Vampire slayer? Why on earth would I have three cloves of garlic just laying around?  My potatoes will be smothered in garlic powder, and they will like it. And Sea Salt? Name one college student who stocks up on sea salt...That is not any kind of go-to staple item. Potato, you will be sprinkled with regular cheap-y salt. And finally, freshly ground pepper...

As. If.

I was hoping, against the odds and every single other cooking experience I've had ever, that this potato might still somehow manage to be delicious. 

But now, as I reread the recipe, I suddenly notice why it took about 3 hours to cook one measly potato. The directions say to place the tater in the oven at 220 degrees...

celsius.

I ignored the Fahrenheit part right there in parentheses.

That potato was doomed from the get-go.

It's a good thing I have engineering and my good looks to fall back on, because I simply can't cut it in the world of domesticity.

(Believe it or not though, I've actually gotten really good at making the toast with the egg in the middle!)
