I made sweet potato hash for the first time. I've never like sweet potatoes the way my mom cooked them. An employee brought some yesterday to work and it was so good I had to try. Here is what I did:

2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and chopped (I popped them in the microwave for 2 minutes to soften them a bit)
1 small onion chopped
4 slices bacon sliced into small pieces (you can use more or less according to taste)
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup bourbon
salt and pepper to taste

In a skillet brown the bacon and onions, when done to your likeness add in the sweet potatoes and water. Cover and cooked until potatoes are tender enough to mash.  Uncover, add butter and bourbon. cook until the alcohol is cooked off.  Salt and pepper to taste. 

You could use veggie stock or maybe even a chicken stock in place of the water. You can also leave out the bourbon, but it adds great flavor.

Having calamari/squid Asian style, coriander/cilantro and garlic prawns and a salad. Summer fruit to follow.

was large beans baked in the oven with tomato onions garlic parsley and carrots..., accompanied with feta cheese with olive oil and oregano, and a green mixed salad and some toasted bread on the side....a glass of good red wine....

pork chops , mashed potato , cheesy peas and salad.

Popping in because I have Shammy on my mind...Tasmania is suffering through bush fires



It has been superhot so it's all been simple panfried fish or chicken with various marinades & salads.
