Settling In

Getting used to being here ... the bathroom is down the hall; the cafeteria is upstairs.

It's acting like it's going to rain (but probably not; this IS Southern California) so will cook a pork roast for dinner and try this new dish with it. Pork and Sweet Potatos/Yams seems like such a natural to me ...

SWEET POTATO BABY CAKES
1 egg
1/2 teas. lemon juice
pinch of pepper
2 T minced crystallized ginger
1 1/2 T honey
2 medium sweet potatos (about 1 lb.) peeled and grated
1 small onuion, grated
1 1/2 T flour
1/4 teas. baking powder (Say what?)
Oil for frying

Combine the egg, lemon juice and pepper. Add the ginger and honey and mix well. Stir in the sweet potatoes and onion. Sprinkle the flour (going to omit the baking powder) over all, mixing well. Form into small flat patties and fry.

You can save half of them for another time in the refrigerator. Reheat them on a baking sheet at 450 for about 5 minutes.
