Yea,his name is Link :)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I was joking...in both posts. Yes it's Link and "Frankenstein's creature".

I don't tend to be pedantic about the Frankenstein thing, but I thought the comic was cute. :>

I don't do well understanding sarcasm online. You can't always hear the inflection in the "voice" when reading words.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

...why not???? It seemed quite clear...

Now I've diluted my beer with tears....

Picarones (Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Doughnuts)

These anise seed-infused pumpkin and sweet potato doughnuts are deliciously addictive and very easy to make. Picarones are a popular snack all over Ecuador and Peru, and are traditionally accompanied by “chancaca,” a sugarcane syrup. They work very well served piping hot with honey or sugar syrup, or even maple syrup if you prefer.

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, about 9–10oz (250–275g) total, peeled and cut into large chunks
1/2 lb (250g) pumpkin or butternut squash, peeled and cut into large chunks
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp crushed anise seed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 envelope (1/4oz) active dry yeast
freshly ground black pepper
oil for deep frying
honey or maple syrup to serve

Instructions

Place the sweet potato and pumpkin in a large saucepan with just enough water to soften (don’t add too much water, as the sweet potato and pumpkin have enough liquid content of their own-otherwise you will end up with mush). Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, stirring frequently, to prevent sticking.
Drain off any excess liquid, and mash the sweet potato and pumpkin together to form a smooth purée. Season with the salt, anise seed, and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl, then stir in the flour. In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over 1/4 cup warm water and stir to mix. Set aside for 5–10 minutes until the yeast bubbles. Add to the sweet potato mixture to make a fairly firm dough, adding more water or flour if necessary. Cover and let sit for 2 hours in a warm, draft-free spot until the dough has puffed up to almost double in size.
Heat the oil for deep frying. To test if the oil is hot enough, tear off a small ball of dough and shape into a ring by pressing it flat in your hands and making a hole in the center with your thumb and forefinger. Gently drop the doughnut into the oil, being careful to avoid any splattering from the hot oil, and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once during the cooking. Drain on paper towels. Taste and adjust the seasoning of the dough-it may need a little extra salt or some more anise seed. When you are happy with the seasoning, form the rest of the dough into rings, and fry in batches until pale golden brown on both sides, again turning once during cooking.
These are best eaten at once. Serve piping hot with honey or maple syrup for drizzling over the top. (hide spoiler)]

Very entertaining mental image xD
Make sure to flush with fizzy beverage after, don't want any bits stuck up there! :p

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

I snorted Pepsi out of my nose once. I imagine donuts is even more painful. :-/

[HomeInMyShoes]

It's too early for fizzy drinks. Coffee will have to suffice.

Yea that will work. Just make sure it's extra warm? :p

Blasphemy! It's never too early for fizzy drinks...

[Beth]

Agreed, never too early. The grocery store by us started carrying a blood orange pop. So yummy.

...have always loved Coke. Coke and cold pizza is the breakfast of champions.

Though I do wonder about people who say they "snort Coke"...how do they keep from drowning?

My grandma used to like to put salted peanuts in her coke. *shudder*

[Beth]

Yeah, that sounds gross.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hey...I did that. It was the country way to have a Coke (or an RC). You bought a Coke (or an RC) and a small bag of peanuts and dumped the peanuts into the Coke (or RC). If you were really "good" you made them come out even and got the last peanut with the last drink.

Try it.

[Beth]

We're not allowed to have Coke in my family on pain of death. My grandma is a firm believer in Pepsi. I can't remember what Coke did, but it royally pissed her off, and that was the end of that.

But even if I used RC or Pepsi, I can't see how that would taste good.

That's what my grandma said, too.

She also tried to imply that the reason I didn't find it appealing was because I probably "wasn't Southern enough." *steam* I just thought it was gross.

[Becky]

Its just the salt. People put salt/peanuts/olives in drinks here too. I like olives, but I'll just eat them, thanks.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Unless it's a martini, I don't want olives in my drink.

You must live in Newfoundland. Most never forgave Coke for closing the plant in St. John's. To this day some decades later most restaurants don't have Coke.

Every now and then I drink a Pepsi to reminisce of the time I spent in Newfoundland. Afterward I get over it and realize that Coke is better.

I've never heard of adding anything to drinks like that except fruit and olives. Why would you add salt to a drink? I know they sometimes salt the rim of some alcoholic drinks, but I always thought that tasted gross and prefer sugar.

I live in the US in Indiana. They just really made her mad.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

I drink Pepsi because it's better.

I hate garnish on my drinks as a concept.

How old is grandma? My grandma always told us Coke had cocaine in it way back when. Now if that's true or not... Grandma's always right... Lol. But, true or not it was believed.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Yes it's true. Coke was originally sold as a patent medicine. The syrup was mixed with water. A drug store "soda jerk" accidentally added soda water...and it was good.

Of course the recipe/formula had to drop the controlled substances when the laws changed.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Coke syrup - or flat coke, if that's all you got - is still good for an upset stomach.

[Brenda ╰☆╮]

Yep! Not quite the same since they changed the original formula.

LOL

As for salt in drinks and such.
It has to be sweet/ salty. The two mixed together makes the sweet.....so much better.
Margaritas for example.
:d


Oooo....and salted caramel!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

When I was a kid I also discovered how good caramels "stuffed" in the mouth with potato chips are...

Wow! Just looking at something similar, this morning!
But I'm too introverted to wear it.
