Do you make a dip for them? I use plain old sour cream.
I am with you. I have always disliked them fixed any way. The one I dislike the most is when marshmallows are melted on top YUCK YUCK YUCK.
“Do you make a dip for them? I use plain old sour cream.”
Ketchup and hot sauce. If having with shrimp or calamari some cocktail sauce.
And coleslaw on the side.
Mmmmmm, that sounds awesome.
No. You grow them from slips.
They were called “yams,” but we’re clearly sweet potatoes.
Sixty some years ago we had just moved to a farm. In our garden we planted sweet potatoes and my God, we had a huge bumper crop.
It’s still kind of foggy, but nobody ever ended up eating them. I love them now but for the life of me I don’t know why my mother never fixed them.
Maybe there do need to ‘rest’ before they’re any good. And perhaps we tried them too early. I just remember them eventually rotting away...
Oh, the vague memories of youth so long ago...
- Harvest them with my grandkids (they love it),
- allow them to dry/sweeten,
- a mass baking,
- whip them with butter to taste, freeze them in uniform 2-serving blocks (pans),
- and then remove them and vacuum seal the blocks
- return them in the freezer for the winter (uniform sizes store nicely).
One step reheat side dish for meals...

I don’t know about the rest of you but I was traumatized by the school lunch lady grabbing jello cubes with her bare hands and placing them in a container for us kids to eat. I was an adult before I ventured eating jello.

Okra is good now. I just picked about 4 lbs. I grill it in a grill pan after tossing with olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper.
My family still live in MS. My niece told me she cut her first broccoli recently. I like it raw.
