happy thanksgiving

I am thankful for so much. Even if I do live a bland, blah life here, I have been blessed. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

keeper - only because it's small

I finally got around to using the Benriner today. I picked up a few round-ish sweet potatoes yesterday in anticipation of the experiment. I'm not sure this dusty gadget actually felt loved, more than likely it just feels used.

I am a clutz. I used a hot pad to hold the potatoes initially. Once they were smaller pieces, I switched to the guard.


Here they are, all nice and uniform in thickness.


Ready for a little flavor addition.


The big kid sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar (maybe they did feel the love?)


I had to fight the kids off to take this picture.


They weren't all crispy. Many were chewy. Some were overdone. Usually, baking on stone helps prevent some of these issues. I'll need to dig around and find another recipe. For now, this is going back in the cupboard. Thankfully, it isn't very big. Perhaps it's more of a summer salad and slaw tool, in my kitchen.
