    Well, Y'hoshua and I get to go to a professor's house tonight for HLS Christian Fellowship Thanksgiving!

    I hope he has yams.

      Um, I'm not sure why you're having yam issues but a number of farms sell them up there if the grocery stores don't.

      Yams and sweet potatoes are the same thing. They are also super easy to cook. Anything you can do with an Irish potato can be done with a sweet potato.

        Except for the brown sugar and marshmallow thingy that some people seem to be so fond of.

          I know. I specifically mean candied yams that I always eat with my turkey (or chicken, like at Boston Market).

          I don't have my grandmother's recipe for her candied yams so I haven't bothered to make any.

          Plus Y'hoshua hates marshmallows and nuts are expensive.

          I've bought sweet potatoes before. I usually just bake 'em. I'm actually a pretty good cook, plus I worked at a grocery store before, lol.

            I didn't say that vise versa was a good idea...

              Ah, okay.

              FYI you can skip both the marshmallows and the nuts. Meringue can be substituted for marshmallows if you want.

                Not all sweet potatoes/yams are the same. The flavor and sweetness is quite variable.

                I once made a potato pie with a regular potato just to see what would happen. Okay, but not a real potato pie.

                  Sure, but they are interchangeable names for the vegetable, just not the various cultivars.

                  Um, I think you left out an adjective or two.

                  FYI: Irish potatoes are great in Shepherd's Pie. Sweet potatoes, not so much...

                    I made a "sweet potato pie" only once. I love me a real sweet potato pie.

                        A friend of mine from Kenya infactly disagreed that yams and sweet potatoes were the same thing. He insisted that in Africa yams were something entirely different from what we have here.
