bake sweet potato

I found a new way to bake sweet potato. I’ve trying different ways to cook it, steam, and sweet soup and bake it as the whole sweet potato also thin slice, but didn’t get the approval from the kids.

That’s talking about the successful one. Cut the sweet potato like the French fries, strips, with the nutritious skin on then flavor them with salt, pepper and olive oil. Make sure try to cut into the shapes and flavor them evenly possible.

Bake them at either 350°F or 375°F, until its golden brown and you can even tell when they are done by the nice sweet aroma from the cooked sweet potato.

roasted duck

Have you ever try to roast duck yourself, yes! The whole one!

The ducks are like the geese, fatty and not much meat compare to the size of itself. And maybe that’s how it tastes yummy and smells very nice too. After done roast it I save the fatty for the cooking later and make the bone and the wings and the neck and heart and the kidney and the livers into the soup base for the either porridge cooking.

But this time I try to cook the bone soup with fat noodle (udon noodle, this what my kid call it, so funny and yummy too.) and it goes very nicely with sliced onions and king oyster mushroom, luscious.

Now let’s back to the roasting part, first rub salt onto the duck evenly (of course, you have to wash it thoroughly beforehand), prick skin all over with a sharp fork, only the skin not too deep into the meat though, breast side up, roast the duck at the temperature at 375°F, for around a little more than an hour or until skin is brown and crisp, dependence on how do you like it.

Remember to use a not shallow roasting pan and put just a quarter cup of water in it, you will expect a lot of gravy and fat when it's done. Feel free to use them afterward; it's the healthiest of animal fats.

blessed

The other day my boys literally cook the dinner. I feeling so blessed. Although they don’t do it Spontaneously, I kind of ask them to. But still they are willing to do it.

We have stir fry vegetables and bake ribs. They are just right. Yummy! Yummy!
