“How honorable a thing it is to live in that estate which God has ordained. In it we find God’s word and good pleasure, by which all the works, conduct, and sufferings of that estate become holy, godly, and precious so that Solomon even congratulates such a man and says in Proverbs 5 [:18], “Rejoice in the wife of your youth,” and again in Ecclesiastes 11 [9:9], “Enjoy life with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life.”- Martin Luther 1522

Alabama Sweet Potatoes
October 16th, 2010 by Aubri
Phil’s Alabama relations, uncle James and aunt Mary Jo, stopped by for a visit this week and left behind a whole box of Cullman County sweet potatoes. (I love that we both have roots in Alabama. We really want to get down there some time y’all!)
We’ve fried ’em, baked ’em and now I’m on the hunt for more ways to enjoy ’em. Let me know if you’ve got a favorite sweet potato recipe!
