Hi all,

We are moving towards cooler weather (here in Israel it is still warm and sunny, and when at home I'm still in shorts, lol).
But pretty soon, the colder weather will come and I am interested in honing in on Mr. Spud skills. (I get low-in-mood when the colder, greyer weather sets in).

I would like to ask about two things:

1. Three hours after dinner, is it ok to have a potato and a salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, red pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, salt)?

I ask because I feel I need another "snack" between dinner and bedtime. It's a long stretch (I go to bed at midnight).
I think such a salad is protein-free, yes?
If it wouldn't detract from the effect of the potato, it would help tide me over till bedtime.

2. I'm a bit confused about the term "potato before bedtime".
I understand "eat potato 3 hours after dinner", but is everyone generally going to bed three hours after dinner? Is there relevance to having "down-time" right after the potato, or can you just have it 3 hours after dinner, and stay up and do whatever you do for another few hours till you go to bed?

Thanks muchly.......will appreciate any input from Experienced Spudders
