    With Thankgiving just around the corner I thought I would add this recipe for sweet taters that my wife loves. I don't like them in any way, shape or form.

    Go out and light your charcoal grill up. While the coals get ready, have a pipe of your favorite baccy. When the coals are all grey, throw the unpeeled sweet taters in the coals. Turn every 10 minutes or so when the skin is burnt. When all the sides are burnt evenly, take them inside. Cut in half and scrape out the un-burnt portion. Add some butter mixed with maple syrup and cinnamon to taste and enjoy.

    Dudes of the world abide.

    It sounds great Revs...
    But, there is one thing wrong with the recipe...
    It uses "sweet taters"...
    Yuck!
    Not my cup of Joe.

    Like I originally said, my wife likes them, not me. Can't stand them. Regular old potatoes for me. Grew up on Pontiac Reds. Then the Idaho Russets got popular.

    Ejames, you would love them this way then. Mix the butter with cinnamon and some maple syrup to taste. Melts over the top of the taters real nice.

    The proper way to prepare them includes marshmallows and brown sugar.

    Lots of it.

    Then add some more marshmallows and brown sugar.

    I am a huge fan of sweet taters but, I hate them with brown sugar and marshmallows though...

    Mason jars and bale top jars, mason jars and bale top jars.... that is all!

    There ya go Bubba. We cook sweet potatoes, yams, same as russetts.
    Mashed, boiled or baked, touch of salt pepper and butter.
    That's the way to really get the flavor from em'

    Snus, snuff and briar.
    Not much more required in a day.

    You can not improve on perfection , marshmellows , cinnamon and brown sugar just mess them up . All you need is butter and maybe some fresh pecans .
