Spicy & Sweet Potato Hash

Happy Father's Day, y'all!

Father's day is a tough time of year for me. Expectations are high when you've got two fathers.

Mine have everything. Two of everything. 
They forget about gift cards until they expire.
 Only eat v e g a n  f o o d.
Blow me over with a feather, gays eating vegan??

Hmmmm. 
A real brain tickler, folks.
Perhaps I should skip the gifts this year? Perhaps just a visit. 
I could help them unpack from their recent move! We'd relax by the pool! Grill portobello burgers! 

It was a genius idea. Perfect!
So perfect, in fact, that all my siblings came up with the same plan. 
My dads live in a two-room condo in Midtown. With no furniture. 
daughter, i am disappoint.
What were you thinking young lady.
After a Saturday night in an unpacked and unfurnished condo with five other people, I longed for breakfast that did not need to be microwaved & eaten out of tupperware: Spicy & Sweet Potato Hash

Sriracha & honey make this hash taste much better than my poor photography skills can ever portray.

One Potato, Sweet Potato!

TGIF, y'all.


Just kidding. I don't care what day of the week it is, it's summer! Winter is finally gone, and I can drink on weeknights. 

Weeknights! And when I order mojitos I no longer hear the dreaded
"oh honey it's WINTER, we don't have MINT on hand!"
Drink crafted at Highwire Lounge
(Bartenders haven't heard about the marvels of modern agriculture technology yet.) 
What do you order when it becomes summer? Mai tai? 
Piña colada? Mint Julep?
Daiquiri? Tequila sunrise? Margarita?
...................

is it a mudslide?
Not that kind.
Well, I ordered a mojito last night and woke up craving citrus. A big, juicy navel orange tastes sooOOoooO good in the morning when you're thirsty. Or hungry. 
(or neither)

Yes, folks, I peeled a big ole orange and set it alongside my baked sweet potato topped with granola and yogurt and had myself another carbtastic breakfast of champions.


Raisins would add a lot to this breakfast!
