Nomad how do you make sweet potatoes in the toaster oven?
I bought a box of them at Costco the other day and I've boiled a few and I also mashed them, added some stuff and put them in the oven.
What else do you do with them? I've even given some boiled ones to my dogs mixed with their regular dog food. They love it. I think it's good for them too, for their coat I've heard.
You can cook them up (either boiling or baking), scoop out the cooked insides into a freezer bag and freeze them, then use them in a sweet-potato pie when the weather cools off enough to turn the oven on. Tastes something like pumpkin, but with a unique component all its own. Or perhaps that's the bourbon we add to the filling mixture....
Tonight was stir-fried shrimp with the Savoy cabbage from the last CSA box, mushrooms, bell pepper and green onions, with lo mein noodles.
And there was just enough left for a couple of lunch-sized portions, to keep the co-workers drooling when the spouse heats up his meal in the office microwave. He generally has a pilgimage of colleagues parading past his desk at lunchtime, all saying variations on "what on earth are you eating? It smells so GOOD", and I expect there'll be more of the same when he takes tonight's leftovers for lunch.

Partially cook them in the microwave, then slice them thin and sautee in olive oil till crispy. remove from pan onto paper towel and salt immediately. devour.

I also have a nice recipe for sweet potatoes:
2-3 large sweet potatoes (peel and grate very thin)
1 onion diced
Put all in a bowl, add 1 egg, about 2-3 table spoons of flour, maybe some grated cheese or cream cheese, salt, pepper, some chili, thyme and marjoram.
Heat oil in a skillet and use a table spoon to put spots of the mixture in the skillet. Fry from one side till golden brown then turn around. Take them out and put them on paper towels to let the oil get out a bit.
Okay, my mom had too much to do so I had to cook the meat balls with cream sauce yesterday evening
Wasn't in the mood for this kind of food so I tossed some left-over maccaroni into a pan with a sprinkle of oil, added half a diced onion, 6 cherry tomatoes cut in pieces, two large table spoons of cream cheese, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and parmigiano cheese. Nothing special but nice though.

Have no clue yet---today is that dreaded grocery shopping day! Ugh!! We usually avoid all the stores on Fridays but somehow we didn't plan well this week and so here we go! Once we get back I will post what's going to be dinner here.
