I've been feeling the first inkling of fall coming. When I let the dogs out in the morning, the air is actually not muggy. The highs are below 90 degrees. I actually feel like looking at something long sleeved. Yep, fall is on the way. The over grown garden is in emergency need of a weed-ectomy. And once a harvest has happened, I'm not very good at removing the dying plants. But here is my first inkling of fall: sweet potatoes!! This was pulled from 2 plants. We are baking them tonight as company to shrimp pasta with home grown basil and anchovy a plenty. I don't think I've ever had a sweet potato fresh from the ground a la Scarlett O'Hara. I'll let you know how it goes.

Update: fresh sweet potatoes - cooked right out of the ground - are absolutely fantastic. Even raw, they are a juicy and crisp. Scarlett O'Hara knew what she was doing less the dirt and all. Tonight, the rest will be sliced thin and hit the deep fryer - YUMMY!!
