Feels good to do something right even though you have no idea what you're doing at all. Last night was a good night with regard to cooking. I made the above, which is a combination of sweet potatoes, peaches, bacon and a fair amount of brown sugar. Rich, for sure, but good, oh yes.
This was a construct that I made on the fly with no clue what the end result was going to be. I simply began with the notion that I wanted to include peaches in whatever it was. Then I used what was laying around. The result was a really nice caramelized brown sugar flavor, with peachy fruitiness and that wonderful saltiness from the bacon. Not something you could eat a plate of, but it was nice to have there for nibbling throughout the meal.
One thing however. This dish did not fit the meal, at all. We had a large salad with this and it was the definition of a culinary shotgun marriage. No good. This Is something that would probably be better served with a big amazing thanksgiving dinner than a light summer meal. But oh well, it was fun so fuck it.
