For our evening meal I had planned to serve leftover beef brisket, baked sweet potatoes and a salad from the cold frame, but when it was time to eat all we really wanted was sweet potatoes with dabs of fake butter. I added a sprinkle of cinnamon to mine.
These sweet potatoes grew in our garden last summer. The variety is Beauregard, the most delicious of all, I believe. Beauregard is juicy, naturally sweet, deep orange and easy to grow. They keep well in a basket in the basement and will last us until summer comes again.
One can't live on sweet potatoes alone, but once in a while simple fare is all we need or want. Well, to be honest, we did finish our spartan meal with slices of cherry pie as a nod to decadence.
As for brisket, my favorite recipe is called "Jewish Grandmother's Brisket." You can find it at http://allrecipes.com/recipe/jewish-grandmas-best-beef-brisket/. Tonight we'll have some served as hot beef open-faced sandwiches. Simple fare it isn't, but who wants to be an ascetic every night of the week?

I could dive right into that sweet potato! We already ate the ones you gave us. I had to fight Oliver for the last one. He discovered it in the storage box downstairs and thought it was his!
Thanks for sharing!
