oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'll eat all of sarameg's share -- except for the icky stuff with marshmallows.
I made a sweet potato soup with apples and onions -- that convinced a sweet potato hater that they can be saved.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Now I wish I had something sweet. Pie is gone and I didn't get any sweet potato leftovers, alas.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love sweet potatoes just baked, with butter and brown sugar on top. Also love sweet potato pie. I HATE the traditional sweet potato casserole. Too sweet.
I have a question. I always forget, what's the difference between sweet potatoes and yams? Are yams the orange ones and sweet potatoes the yellow ones? Or is it the other way around?

They're all sweet potatoes but for some reason we call the orange-fleshed ones yams. Even though there are actual yams that are different.
My sweet potato casserole is with orange juice and brown sugar. I haven't had the kind with marshmallows, but I don't think I would like it.

Thanks `t, I just googled the same myself. That fits with my childhood recollection. Of course now I'm having a hard time finding a photo of an actual yam. Also I know one of the two has more nutritional value, but I can't recall which one.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The soft orange ones are sold as 'yams' even though, of course, they aren't.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sweet potato pudding is orange here, isn't it?
