Now that I've tasted sweet potatoes French fries, prepared in the oven, of course, I'm hooked on those.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-36717104658176590882012-04-28T12:48:07.449-07:002012-04-28T12:48:07.449-07:00Grover, this is a traditional Thanksgiving dish fo...Grover, this is a traditional Thanksgiving dish for many people. Cook and mash the sweet potatoes with butter, salt and pepper, then sprinkle marshmallow bits on top and bake. It is very sweet, and some folks might find it sickly, but it is a once a year dish for me.<br /><br />Dana, your kids would enjoy it, I'm sure. You can also start an avocado plant the same way by suspending the seed on a glass so only part of it is in the water. I have tried to grow an avocado plant since we really love them, but the winters are just too cold here.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-21929860595279179582012-04-28T08:10:33.199-07:002012-04-28T08:10:33.199-07:00This is the second time in a week that I've re...This is the second time in a week that I've read about sweet potatoes being baked with marshmallows (having never heard of it before then). I'm assuming it's an accompaniment to a main meal? Is it not really sickly?Groverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820685950702087464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-44911510448549487482012-04-28T05:51:36.761-07:002012-04-28T05:51:36.761-07:00Very interesting!
