Brings back memories of the Louisville gun show and the sausage vendor that was camped out in the lobby. Best gun show food I've ever experienced.

Stan, sweet potatoes are all I eat. What makes the E. Arkansas taters different?

I'll take sweet taters over regular taters any day.

It's the variety they grow, Daryl, the Orleans variety. First year they grew sweet potatoes they grew half the acreage in another variety and gave me a box of each to take home, with instructions to compare them and let him know what we thought. There was no contest. The Orleans was "creamier", almost like a soufflé in the hull. They also have no "stringiness", unlike all other store bought ones I've ever tried.

I think it's amazing how my friends went from never having grown sweet potatoes to planting 600 acres the first year. They continue to grow them so I assume it has been a profitable venture. Very labor intensive and expensive, crop to harvest, though.

I'm right there with you Dave!! Autumn....SCHMAUTUMN!! You guys always want to hit the fast-forward button on summer. Hey, I cherish autumn too, but the "REEL" fishing in the words of Karen Carpenter, has only just begun. I won't surrender until the third week of October.

Saturday morning we were enveloped in a fog bank for a good thirty minutes before the sun re-emerged. It was ethereal. My kind of sunrise service!!

I don't think my local Kroger affiliate (Dillons) carries them
