experimental foods ...


i think if you know me, you know i love food ... a lot

you may not know, however, that i like to attempt to cook ... occassionally succeedding, but i am not in any way similarly skilled as mark is,  his skill level in cooking far exceeds most people in general, not just kids or college students...

but, i do like to try new things, and tonight, i took a chance at grilling sweet potato fries ... or slices or whatever, but they are good. a little olive oil (always), a dash of salt and a shake of pepper, and a couple of scoops of brown sugar! oh how tasty and delicious ... i threw them on my grill (low) for somewhere near 8 or 10 mintures, flipping once or twice ... just be careful not over cooking ... mine were done when grill marks started appearing, if they are really black, they will taste black  and burnt ... also my slices were pretty skinny, but not shaved

  3. i cant tell if you are being serious. but, with my keen sense of......sight, i was able to figure out that the picture you took wasnt taken in your living room bc the tree isnt directly by your tv. so, one would lead me to believe that you are indeed telling me the truth.

    i should be a myth buster. duh.
