The Professor and Maryann...

Remember that fun tip on how to peel a banana like a monkey? Here’s another one, forwarded to me by my cousin Cherie in California. How to peel a potato without the mess (and without a peeler).

Brought to you by Maryann from Gilligan’s Island:



Just one correction to the process – be sure to start your potato in cold water. Once they come to a boil, cook until tender. If you dump a potato into boiling water and cook for 15 minutes you will have raw potato on the inside and mush on the outside, regardless of how you peel it.

Btw – I totally missed the Dawn Wells / Maryann is a pothead story that came out last year. Per the video below, Ms. Wells was driving home from a birthday party and got distracted trying to turn the heat on in her car. Long story short, she was pulled over and they found pot in the car. Turns out the stuff had been left in her car unbeknownst to her by someone else. When all was said and done, Maryann ended up with a reckless driving citation while the pothead was arrested and fined. Unfortunately, the bad publicity messed with a number of the non-profit and business endeavors she had going.

Why is it that the media never jumps on the truth with the same rabid zealotry they exhibit over a potential scandal?
