What is it about a cool fall
day and sweet potatoes? They just seem to go hand in hand. I remember as a kid,
I loved them so much. I would cut up my pork chop and mix it all together.
Tonight for our supper, we
are having left over ribs from Sunday; everyone wants corn, but not me. I don’t care for canned yams, or sweet potato soufflé.
Just give me the red beauty baked in the oven, and smothered in butter.
So, I took off to the produce
stand. Much of what they had was from Georgia and small. When I get a sweet tater, I want a big one.
Then I found another box.
Yeah that is what I am talking about!
Big, red, and sweet and exactly,
what I needed to bring a smile to my face.
I get the kids, home and walk
in with my treasured beauty.
Wash it off, and then Senior
says: “good gawwd that’s big!
Are you hungry or something?”
“Why yes I am, is that a
problem”? I said with a raised eyebrow….
“Uh no..just sayin..thats big”
“MmmmHmmmm” I say
I clean up my tater, and wrap
her in foil. I preheat the oven to 390 and gently place it on the rack to bake.
Ohhh! I can’t wait to inhale that delicious smell at supper time. To cut her
open and let my taste buds absorb my first sweet potato of the fall season
I just harvested 10# of sweet potatoes. Mine were huge because I had never grown them before and didn't know when they were ready so they got big ☺ The other night I mashed some, added butter, brown sugar, and threw in some mini marshmallows MMmmm! I traded some to the neighbor for green beans, homegrown green beans are really tasty, next year I will grow enough to put some up. Enjoy your dinner, it sounds good!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am making myself not comment anymore on politics! I get pretty riled up and stay that way all day, so sorry if I seemed crazy on your last post cuz I was LOL!!!!!
Yes it was very yummy. I wish I was your neighbor too-I would have taken some off your hands as well.
DeleteNahhh you werent a crazy person..It is just such a heated election, that I will be glad when its over and either the entire world as we know it collapses or Mitt gets in there and really starts to turn things around. Either way I am ready. : )
I love baked sweet potato. I do mine in the microwave and put lots of butter on it. YUMM!
ReplyDeleteMine was over coated in butter...soooo good. : )
DeleteLooks good now that I know what it is - I thought when I first saw the photo it was a turkey breast! I am visiting from Beth Marie!
ReplyDeleteWell Welcome Chatty ! Glad you found me and stopped by. Come back again as often as you wish.
DeleteI am oddly attracted to sweet potatoes now in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable and it's ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!
