When You Feel Robbed of Your Private Time

I keep my eyes always on the LORD.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.  Psalm 16:8

If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm. Psalm 37:23

Have you ever heard, “in the South they fry EVERYTHING?” Well, I don’t think that is particularly true, after all, I have never seen a dill pickle fried, oh, wait a minute, yes I have.  Well, then I have never seen a snicker’s bar fried, oh … yes I have.  Okay, okay, there must be something we don’t fry — oh, forget it.  Ya know, in the south we don’t just fry turkeys for Christmas but Sweet Potatoes too!  At our house we eat a lot of sweet potatoes, and they just don’t get much better than this.

BEFORE

AFTER

Before you say “frying is too fattening” take a look at this recipe.  Only about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter will cook a big batch of potatoes.  A little cinnamon sprinkled in the beginning and a little brown sugar in the end ….  they are irresistible!   And just in case you missed it, eating such healthy potatoes definitely means you can end the meal with … Walnut Fudge Pie?

Kitchen blessings and happy cooking!
