Hey, song of the South, sweet potato fry and I shut my mouth...

Hey excuse the title, I had a sudden country outbreak ( I say it like it's a disease becuase it is). For Christmas I got the Martha Stewart Cooking School book ( I really wanted it, I love cooking but I am not really gifted in that way, lol). So I decided to try some new things on my cooking night (which is tonight, Tuesday). I decided to stick with my German roots and make wiener schnitzel. I also wanted sweet potatoes and asparagus. The asparagus I steamed, then marinated in a ginger-soy vinaigrette. It was really good and extremely easy.

GINGER-SOY VINAIGRETTE

1 1/2 t Fresh ginger, finely grated

1 t Soy sauce

2 T Rice wine vinegar

Salt and pepper

1/4 cup plus 2 T Sunflower oil
Thinly sliced scallions

My family really liked it. I replaced the sunflower oil with canola, what can I say? I am a rule breaker.So the wiener schnitzel was also good but it scared me really bad... There I was, standing in the kitchen, cute and innocent as ever.. It was about 5:15 pm. Not a time you would expect something frightening to occur. Okay, maybe I am being a little dramatic. What happened is the grease kind of went mental and I was splattered multiple times. I don't know why it took it all out on me! It made quite the mess. But it was worth it. I tried to get a pic of the boiling oil but it was sort of trying to kill me at the time.

I was trying to do a lot at once so my mom made the sweet potatoes for me. She's so sweet:) I got this one that had a smiley face.Isn't it cute?
