Ok, I'm just going to go ahead and vent here for a second. Get that sweet, colorful, absurd fruit out of your daiquiri. It's not supposed to be there. Stop it. For your drinking pleasure, here's how you make a real daiquiri. Ready? Ok. What ya need: 2 ounces of white rum (I prefer Bacardi Superior) 3/4 ounce of fresh squeezed lime juice (if you use Rose's lime or something like it, go read a book) 1 teaspoon of superfine (confectioner's) sugar Ok, so: Stir together lime juice and sugar. When well incorporated, add rum, fill with ice, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. Strain into a glass. Drink. Smile.

So sweet potatoes are good. Whiskey is good. So, logically, why not mix them together and see what happens? I tried. It's good. What ya need: 2-1/2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes 4 Tablespoons butter, softened 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar Pinch of salt 1/3 cup Jack Daniel's Whiskey Ok, so: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a big bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar, salt, and whiskey. Spoon this mixture into a greased casserole dish or pie pan. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Oh hey, you're done.
