So, I am looking through my Foxfire Appalachian Cookery guide this morning for a bit of inspiration for the sweet potatoes at today's meal. I am liking what they have listed but I want a bit of a twist, so I mixing up some of their savory dishes with the sweet potatoes.
I am grilling some sweet potato slices to garnish the dish with (thank goodness for the George Forman - grill absolutely anything - Grill). In a pan of bacon fat with fresh crumbels of bacon and fresh gound-sausage crumbles from breakfast I am sauteing the diced sweet potatoes. After 10 minutes they get steamed with a cup of water, two sprigs of rosemary, minced garlic (but of course) and a dash of curry powder.
Mmmm. Hey, Grandpa, What's for supper...?
It helps listening to Willie Nelson while cooking..."Come on back Jesus, and pick up John Wayne on the way!!!"
Thanks Tom, I believe writing should put the author in the room with me as I read, and I must say that is exactly what happened today as I read...you take what you have find some other things that should be and throw it together and always with music. a very vivid memory of you creating a new meal when didden house boys were not to happy about the fruit salad and cotttage cheese sent for lunch...no problem Tom is on deck thanks for the blog
