Homegrown
Over the weekend, we picked our first sweet potato from the garden. It was the first time we ever tried our hand at growing sweet potatoes and we were pleasantly surprised to find a potato growing under the dirt. When we planted the plants, I was kinda thinking we weren't going to have much luck.
So, now that we have this sweet potato, I need to find something to do with it. I thought about putting it in a soup I make, but I don't have any of the soup's other ingredients on hand. We need to make more food for the pugs tonight so I think I will bake it in the oven and add it to the pugs food. They love sweet potatoes and I am sure they would love to be the first tasters of the homegrown sweet potato.

Bake it and smsh it and the pugs will think they are in heaven!!!Add a little brown sugar and butter then forget the PUGS!
Hellen, you are funny.
Honestly, the pugs will really think they are given a big treat. Fresh is always better than canned. Of course, we want pictures or video of them digging into their fresh sweet potato food.
Mmmmmmmmmm, I bet it’s going to be delicious!
Don’t forget to the Animal Planet site and vote for Pugsley in Battle of the Breeds.
MMmmmmmm…boys and I love sweet potato! I’m impressed with your green thumbs and paws. I second Sue VDB - video of the gang enjoying their homegrown goodness!
Sue - how is Abby doing?
I’m with Hellen! A bit for the pugs, and then butter, brown sugar….and num-num-nummy!
I agree with Sue VDB we will need pictures or video of them enjoying there sweet potato my gang and myself love sweet potatoes yummy
Heather Abby is doing really good I took her to the vet this mourning for a recheck and he said she is doing really well just keep up the walks and in three to four months her muscle should start to build up in the leg again she goes in on monday to have her stitches out she is back to doing her puggy dance she even did it for the vet
Sue, I am so happy to hear Abby is doing her puggy dance again. That definitely means she is doing better, and your hard work is paying off, also in four months that little leg will be good as new. Yay Abby.
Wow, very impressive sweet potato! I agree, I think the pugs will love their special home grown treat. Enjoy!
Sue - Ahhh, the happy dance girl is back. Wonderful, wonderful news. Wow, though - 3-4 months before the muscle starts to build? That’s a big commitment and a lot of hard work. We’ll keep you going!
Anybody see a pig facing forward in the sweet potato? I hadn’t thought of sweet potatoes for the Pugs but now I’ll have to try it.
Mmmm Sweet potatoes! I made sweet potatoe cupcakes before (care of Martha Stewart) and I have also made a sweet potato creme brulee. And that was to die for!
