Yams have rounded ends.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

I've never seen a stealth sweet potato, bon. I think your husband's hand fell into the wrong bin...or someone pulled a potato prank on him.
Just scratch one, you don't actually have to cut into it to see the color of the flesh.

Shouldn't sweet potatoes and regular potatoes smell different?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
OK guys, since Hil threw a monkey wrench re: yams, I sliced one open. It's white. I'm gonna assume it's a common potato.
FTR it's pretty easy for Bob to have grabbed a bunch of the wrong potato without being tricked. You could be the best philosophical historian your dissertation adviser has ever seen and be frequently fooled by normal grocery store sign placement. It's A Thing.
So, food question. What's a good make-ahead dish for about 3 lbs of potatoes? eta: I think it'll be twice-baked

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Any chance they are Japanese sweet potatoes? They are white inside.

My go-to with spuds? Spanish tortilla! You'll need eggs, and anything else lying around the fridge you might throw into an omelet. (Cheese, ham, herbs, mushrooms etc.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't think so, since those are usually purple outside.

Not great for make-ahead! Apparently with twice-baked you can stick em in the freezer and reheat easily. That's perfect, plus I can use up spinach, feta, green onions, goat cheese, all sorts of stuff in the fridge.

Because books.
Twice-baked potatoes are one of my favorite things, bon. You could also do scalloped potatoes.
We have a shitload of leftover rice from Ben's birthday dinner last night, and I need some ideas for what to do with that.
