New Kitchen Posts

FYI, I added a couple new recipes to Nicki's Kitchen. One uses the sweet potatoes that we dug up the other day!

That bread sounds delicious! I like sweet potatoes a lot. I hear that in Japan there's an ice cream truck that comes around and sells sweet potatoes! How fun. :)

I haven't yet tried this, but everyone who has RAVES about it if you so desire.

Sweet Potato Supreme
Ingredients:
2 Cups of mashed cooked Sweet Potatoes
2 Tbsp cream or milk
2 Tbsp melted butter
Scant tsp salt
½ Tsp Paprika
½ Cup Brown sugar (packed)
½ cup butter
1 cup (approximately) Pecan Halves to cover casserole

Mix potatoes, cream, melted butter, salt and paprika. Spread in greased casserole. Make the topping by heating brown sugar and butter over low hear, stirring constantly, until butter is barely melted. (It is REALLY important not to cook after butter is melted or topping will harden when casserole is heated) Spread topping over potatoes and cover with pecan halves. Refrigerate until ready to heat. Can be warmed in an oven of any temperature or a microwave, but it should be bubbling hot to serve

HEY GUYS!! I haven't been on your blog in like forever... I had the ZackInTokyo blog that I kinda let just collect dust.. haha. Anyway, I'm gonna have to do some reading to catch up. Great to see you doing well! I'm teaching Japanese some here in Baton Rouge and helping a Japanese woman out with English. I'll be moving back over there next year it looks like. My girlfriend would like to work possibly as a teacher on one of the bases there in Kanagawa if possible. Anyway, take it easy you guys. :)

This is Zakku again. I moved my account to Blogger Beta/Google, so I can't log in to post to your page anymore. I made another new blog, where I will be putting up some pictures and such soon hopefully. It is mainly for my Japanese Organization here in Baton Rouge, until I move back to Tokyo. I put a link to your blog on it. http://nihonnizakku.blogspot.com

Thanks for the recipes! There are so many great things that can be made from sweet potatoes! There is a bakery in Honmoku that sells sweet potato cream puffs...THEY ARE TO DIE FOR!! Not only is the purple cream divine, but so pretty too!
