Specialty of the day!

We were meant to have homemade hamburgers and chips for dinner tonight but instead of getting minced beef (ground beef for those playing outside of Australia ;P), I ended up getting sausages out of the freezer to defrost.

So we were now having sausages, vegies and roast potatoes. I put the sausages under the grill. I put the vegies in a saucepan to cook. I put the potatoes in a saucepan to boil for a while and then I was going to put them in the chip pan to fry.

All was going well until I took the potatoes off the heat, drained them and put them on a tray to cool so I could coat the with flour. I reached into the pantry to get the flour down and sprinkled some over the potatoes. I thought it was a little weird that the flour seemed to absorb into the potatoes but didn’t think anything of it until I sprinkled more to coat them when I realised I had just sprinkled ICING SUGAR on the potatoes!

I quickly rinsed them under hot water and then coated them with REAL flour and finished frying them. Unable to stop myself from smirking at the family while they ate their potatoes, I admitted what I had done and got five pairs of eyes rolling at me (I’m sure Annabelle would have rolled her eyes too if she understood what I had done…lol)

Gives a new meaning to sweet potatoes!

UPDATE: When I opened up the cupboard this morning to get the tea bags out, I noticed that one of my children had labelled my icing sugar container for me…lol
