This is really pretty good.
Cajun Baked Sweet Potato " 1 tablespoon paprika " 1 teaspoon brown sugar " 1/2 teaspoon black pepper " 1/2 teaspoon onion powder " 1/2 teaspoon thyme " 1/2 teaspoon rosemary " 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder " 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper " 1 large sweet potato " 1 tablespoon olive oil Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise; rub the halves with olive oil, and then spread the seasoning mix over the open half of each potato. (I use a butter knife.) Bake for 45minutes or until the sweet potato is tender. [Note: Simply multiply the recipe for more than one potato.] |

Have a gas grill with side burner, pellet grill (smoker/wood fired convection oven), coleman 2 burner LP camp stove, evil Santa gift electric griddle still in the box, air fryer, toaster oven, and microwave. It will be an adventure, but I think we'll make it. :) |

The air fryer is a much smaller countertop thing that holds maybe 8-10 chicken wings, two servings of fries, broccoli, etc. Most anything you would roast or fry.

They range from about $50-300. A basket with fan-forced hot air. |

I was using a temporary plywood counter until the metal fabricator got done with that stainless counter top where the sink and cook top sit. I already had my cabinets on site so most of the kitchen went pretty fast. The plumbing did not change much but there was fairly extensive electrical, getting me plenty of circuits and receptacles serving the counter tops. |

The plumbing and electrical roughs will really depend on what has to happen for that island but I assume you are trenching the floor if you are built at grade. If you are doing that, put in an extra conduit out to an accessible place. You never know and it is easy then. The wall roughs happen before the drywall, pretty much the first thing that happens after framing and before they set cabinets. Electrical and plumbing trim out is usually right at the end. You probably have a partial rough before the drywall goes up and maybe another island rough. Then you should be good until the finals based on how it works here. Basically they want to see everything you are covering up before it is covered up. |

The air fryer is a much smaller countertop thing that holds maybe 8-10 chicken wings, two servings of fries, broccoli, etc. Most anything you would roast or fry.

They range from about $50-300. A basket with fan-forced hot air. You're right. Hers is a big thing. Turkey fryer, that's it. |

It will be an adventure, but I think we'll make it. :) When we tore up the indoor kitchen we had our oven on a furniture dolly out in the screen cage for about a month running on an extension cord, until I got the country kitchen done outside. The oven has not been inside since then. I lived on the gas grill and side burner until I got a cook top installed inside. I was using a temporary plywood counter until the metal fabricator got done with that stainless counter top where the sink and cook top sit. I already had my cabinets on site so most of the kitchen went pretty fast. The plumbing did not change much but there was fairly extensive electrical, getting me plenty of circuits and receptacles serving the counter tops. Our contractor did not start ripping, until the cabinets were in the garage, and the appliances were at the stores warehouse. We have a really nice wet bar in a family room, so we had a sinks, and an electric skillet on the bar top. Plus a bbq and side burner. We were only down about 3 weeks, a few days of that was waiting for the city inspectors, Yeah, I'm questioning the time frame a bit, but we have a few more moving parts. The cabinets are being built before the demo starts and the appliances are already ordered, but we also have the flooring guys that have to do demo on the tile after the cabinet/general guys do their demo thing, then the cabinet guys have to have everything roughed in for the granite guy to take his measurements, then the cabinet/granite/tile/electrical/plumbing guys have to have all their stuff completely done for the floor guys to even start to lay hardwood (finished in place to match the rest of the hardwood), then the appliance guys to install while the stair guy installs new wrought iron balusters. Plus cleanup and inspections. Three weeks ain't gonna cut it. :) The floor guys could really start as soon as the cabinets are set and certainly while you are waiting for the granite guys. There is already hardwood in the rest of this level, so they will be installing matching in the kitchen and sun porch and then sanding and refinishing the entire level. They want all work complete and all workers gone so no one is walking over their work. The plumbing and electrical roughs will really depend on what has to happen for that island but I assume you are trenching the floor if you are built at grade. It's on the first floor, but the house is built on a slope so there's a garage and utility room underneath, and it's a crawl space house. Easy access to plumbing and electrical. I think they are padding their timeline, but that's OK. |

Don't know how good it is though. I broke the blade off of a decent plastic one doing sweet potatoes. It was fine for anything else but a sweet potato kicked its butt. We have a professional quality all metal one now. You certainly have to respect a mandoline. I've never cut myself on one, but my wife got a little too confident and wasn't using the food holder/pusher. It wasn't too bad fortunately, but while she was grabbing a paper towel to wrap her finger, I flipped the mandoline over and found her fingerprint on the back side of the blade. Ouch. |

Reminds me of the contractor that has done highway jobs for CalTrans. A truck burned and destroyed the integrity of part of the overpass in what is call3d the Cypress Maze. Is the multi tier overpass on the Oakland side of the Bay Bridge. Estimates were 3 months to repair. He did it in a couple weeks. All the subcontractors were lined up,and they were building new on one end while demoing on the other end. Same guy did the overpasses in Los Angeles after their quake. Gets a bonus for everyday under the contract time. |

I like the taste of a sweet potato the way it comes from nature, baked, with a tiny pat of butter and a little salt. You guys do the same thing with beouf...I don't eat that much of it, but when I do, it is because, for example, I like the taste of a steak. Crikey...why bother with the main ingredient...just sit down with a spoon and an assortment of spices. And speaking of which...when you add a lot of "heat"(fiery spices) to meat, just what are you tasting? Certainly not the meat. :) Do yours come from nature with butter and salt thereon? Wow. You're the man, Krause. Did you get up on the derogatory side of bed this morning? Lets see... should I take my culinary cues from a top chef like Bobby Flay, or from fat harreee? Decisions, decisions... |

Cajun Baked Sweet Potato " 1 tablespoon paprika " 1 teaspoon brown sugar " 1/2 teaspoon black pepper " 1/2 teaspoon onion powder " 1/2 teaspoon thyme " 1/2 teaspoon rosemary " 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder " 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper " 1 large sweet potato " 1 tablespoon olive oil Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise; rub the halves with olive oil, and then spread the seasoning mix over the open half of each potato. (I use a butter knife.) Bake for 45minutes or until the sweet potato is tender. [Note: Simply multiply the recipe for more than one potato.] Here's *the* recipe for sweet potatoes. Had it at the Mesa Grill in Vegas, Bobby Flay's restaurant. Awesome. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/smoked-chile-scalloped-sweet-potatoes-recipe-1945789 As soon as I read 'two cups of heavy cream' it became a no-no.

I like the taste of a sweet potato the way it comes from nature, baked, with a tiny pat of butter and a little salt.
