Now you’re a lady who knows how to get her vitamins. My friend invited me over for dinner last night. She fixed me a nice steak dinner and some luscious brownies with marshmallow cream and caramel & nuts. They were to die for. She didn’t eat any desert because of her diabetes. If I had diabetes I couldn’t have anything like that in the house. Then she sent me home with a meatloaf, broccoli, twice baked potatoes.
Not to brag but do I know how to pick friends or what? Speaking of nuts, I have a question for @imallears. We were talking about sweet potatoes versus yams. Some places we looked it said they are all sweet potatoes. other places we looked said they are definitely different. another place said that people that think they’re looking at three potatoes are actually yams My friend and I believe that a sweet potato has a light beige skin and the inside is white and yams are orange inside . So my question is, is it a regional thing.? Do people from different parts of the US and world for that matter if no call a sweet potato with the white inside one thing in California and something else in New York or the south or the north?. Anyones opinion welcome.
Have a good day all and if Sue has any cookies left I know she will,
Jake

Jake, FYI…Sweet potatoes are indigenous to the “new world” and are typically reddish skinned and darker, often orange inside. And, yams are typically brownish skinned and lighter inside. Unfortunately, in the US, sweet potatoes are often labeled as yams. For example, my favorite, “Garnet Yams” are actually sweet potatoes.
