Potato Experiment

Try mashing sweet potatoes by themselves and put gravy on them, or I have
heard that frying them with onions is good also. I am diabetic and have to
limit how many potatoes of any kind I eat. Adding brown sugar is a no no.
I have sliced them and added put in soup (stew).

If you really want to shake up the family, put peanut butter in places you
wouldn't think. On meat sandwiches, in an omelet, in soup, and the list
goes on. You are limited only by your imagination. I get a lot of
comments, and most of them are good.

Well, I decided the family needed shaking up. I combined 3 baked and
mashed sweet potatoes with 3 boiled russets (should have whipped them by
theirselfs). I always add a coupla cloves of garlic to the water. I
used lots of butter, but didn't need any more liquid as sweet pots are
pretty squishy all alone. I got lumpy not quite sweet maspped
(mashed/whipped) potatoes. The flavors did not meld, but covered up one
another's best qualities. It was edible, even good, but not great and I
won't do that again. They might make tasty pancakes, tho. The pork
roast in beer was great, with visions of leftovers...

Yes I love mashed sweet pots by themselves. But always baked, the boiled lose
something in the water. I did make a peanut butter soup once, of Indian origin
I think. Had curry in it. I liked it but the fam thought it too wierd. But
peanut butter omelet? That I gotta try. Somebody on FoodTV put a chocolate
sauce on steak. Do I dare?

Okay, here's how unlimited imagination can get when it comes to putting
peanut butter in places you wouldn't expect: Back in my Navy days, an
electronics technician knew his locker was going to be inspected. He put a
big smear of peanut butter on the back of a clean pair of jockey shorts.
When the inspector held them up in horror, the tech ran his finger through
the peanut butter then popped it in his mouth.

I put peanut butter on my fried egg sandwich. I also put a bit of
cinnamon in my homemade chicken soup.....Sharon
