Rainbow Trout and....Baseball?

Over Labor Day my parents went to my Aunt and Uncle's cabin on the Norfolk River in Arkansas. Daddy just LOVES fly fishing. Before they went, I asked him to bring some fish back home. You see, the only trout I've had is from a restaurant AND I was going to be going home the next weekend for Mama's birthday! I have such a good Daddy...he brought the trout home and then grilled it on the cedar planks I got them for Christmas. Let me say, it was SOOOO good! I paired it with roasted sweet potatoes, tomato, corn, and squash. Speaking of sweet potatoes...if you ever get bored in the kitchen on a Saturday, especially with your mom!, just grab a sweet potato, hand the a strawberry to your mom and strike a pose. Then, wait for the perfect pitch, swing away, and hit that strawberry across the kitchen. This will result in a busted strawberry, a stained potato, and lots of laughs! Yes, I promise, I'm still in medical school but we all have our weaknesses!

I haven't had trout in ages but it is so good.
And why not at little fun to blow off some steam.

Never thought to use a sweet potato that way, but why not...fun is the best medicine! The trout look spectacular!
