'Curry blend'???? What kind of curry, North Indian, South Indian, Korean, Chinese, Thai??? The word 'curry' is a suffix, it is supposed to be added after the region it is inspired from!

I always thought dry spices are forever. It's not true ? I use too many, no chance to stay even for a year.

Very interesting. I used to order baked potatoes from a food place. The bacon baked potato was huge, topped with butter, sour cream, cheese, and a bucket of bacon. They also had pastrami baked potatoes, etc.

Right!? I'm not a fan. However, I craved corn dogs with my second pregnancy but only the ones with the honey flavored batter, dipped in mustard. I think it was just because I read somewhere that hotdogs were not good to eat during pregnancy so obviously corn dogs wouldn't be either so naturally I wanted them lol.

Gross. I love hot dogs. I love potatoes. The idea of one inside the other is disgusting, those flavors would not work well together.

You can also use a tortilla. In fact, in Norway, we have a thing called "lompe" which is basically like a small tortilla made of potato flour; and it's probably more used than the buns.

Love potatoes, but not baked whole, since I'm into the crispy bit. I'd rather dice up the taters and slice up the hot dog, making some kind of skillet or toaster oven dish. Even the microwave would work.

We use cinamon in the Netherlands. Healthier then adding sugar. (With milk you get Wentelteefjes :) )

You can use the bottom of a springform pan, also. Lemon will not only kill the natural fish's flavor, but will also overcook it. If you like your fish lemon-ey, just add some zeste on top instead (grated lemon skin)
