What's for Dinner ... Friday?
Comments (12)Well lunch was not very exciting-we ate at my work around 2. My husband came to where I work with turkey & Swiss sandwiches & apples & oranges. I enjoyed the sandwich but am not a big fruit eater-oh well at least I had something to eat. The office next door closes at 2 on Fridays leaving me the only person in the building until we close at 4. So when I am scheduled to work on Fridays my husband & little dog Biscuit come to "babysit" me. Which I greatly appreciate!!...See MoreWhat's for Dinner ... Friday?
Comments (6)Chili, toast and a green tossed salad. Easy, peasy, 'cause tonight is game 7 between New York and Tampa Bay. Winner tonight plays the winner of tomorrow nights game 7 between Anahiem and Chicago for the Stanley Cup. Tomorrow night is the gang coming over for a BBQ to watch the big game....See MoreWhat's for Dinner ... Friday?
Comments (18)Its confusing because it goes against what has been the accepted common knowledge since perhaps the early 1800's. The farmers growing them and calling them yams, are wrong. The grocers selling them and calling them yams, are wrong. The companies canning them and labeling them as yams, are wrong. The people who first introduced them to the United States called them yams, perhaps to distinguish them from the different variety of sweet potatoes that were already on the market, they were wrong too. Even some sites on the web that try to explain the difference with helpful images like this one: http://www.frugallivingnw.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/yams-sweet-potatoes-is-there-a-difference-2.jpg are wrong. (hint they are all sweet potatoes, despite their labels) So it is not at all surprising that what I learned at a young age from my mother and grandmother, and which was continually re-enforced every Thanksgiving or every time I visited a grocery store, is wrong. I have never eaten a true yam in my life, and seeing some of the pictures of what a true yam look like, I probably never will. Does it harm me in any way if other people choose to call some varieties of sweet potatoes "yams", no. It merely bothers the pedantic part of me a little when someone asserts something to be a fact, when they are in fact wrong....See MoreWhat's for Dinner ... Friday?
Comments (9)It's ridiculously hot here over 100. Hubby is going to throw a couple of nice bone in ribeyes on the grill, leave the heat outside. I will do some baby red potatoes in the microwave instead of the oven. Sliced tomatoes. I am not hungry at all, had a slice of pizza for late lunch. I had carotid artery scans done today and the vampires had to have some of my blood too. Whew too hot to be out doing anything! Another baby died in a car I saw on the news, at a Waffle house restaurant, I just don't get that one. A man came running out to the car when he saw the ambulance pull up. I guess he just needed some waffles. Crazy stuff....See More- 11 years ago
