Perfect Weather For A Boat Ride

 

This time of the year you can usually find me in one of three places . . .(listed according to preference)

1. At the bottom of the pool!

2. In my boat-cruising back roads-hunting for good food!

3. Grilling on my Sears Infrared Grill.

On a good day I get to do all three. Today will be one of those perfect days. I have already donned my bathing suit,
I am about to apply red lipstick and I have a pork butt thawing for bbQ!

Sweet Potato Cheesecake

        This big ole sweet potato kept following me around the kitchen. I would move it and there it would be-just staring back at me. So, I decided to cook it. Not to be mean-but I didn't know what else to do. There it was. . . all steamy in the bowl And then it occurred to me that I would honor the sweet potato by incorporating it into a tasty dessert. I poked my head around a little in the refrigerator and there sat a big container of ricotta and homemade peach syrup. Things were looking up. I continued opening cabinets to see what was on hand-rather than sending my runner out to the grocery store. I found a container of blanched almonds and pretzel rods. Interesting. . . I got me a big bowl, my whisk and starting creating. Every once in a while you just get lucky. And if ever there was a time to get lucky this was it. In the South, we like our sweet potatoes! What I ended up with was a perfectly dense ricotta "cheesecake" with a hidden layer of blanched almon
