Big Dave's first blog. Technology has tried very hard to pass me by, but the opportunity to share culinary delights allows this old geezer to plug through, of course with much help. I threw the above concoction together with Mrs. A 8 days ago and then took the pictures, one of which is above, to post on the blog. Sheila and I worked like mad to get the picture posted, but it took the next generation to pull the strings to let me be e-literate!

This was mashed red yams, mashed in a blender with heavy cream and butter, after boiling diced yams for 30 minutes. The entree was a boneless chicken breast sauteed to brown it, then I sauteed mushrooms, onion, "Hatch-type" pepper and red pepper in the chicken residue.

I pulled the veggies, put the chicken back in the pan, added one cup of chicken broth and simmered the chicken for 30 more minutes. I added the veggies back for the last 10 minutes. It tasted even better than it looked, but Mrs. A said that she would have preferred that I had sauteed the yam as well.

What do you think of that for an old fart?
