Not if you are serious film buff, and live in the sticks. Some movies
just don't do will on 23 inches, and more and more great stuff appears
on DVD. Not that I have time for any of them these days, but back when I

ObFood: Added one part cubed raw yam to two parts white potato in my
(almost) favourite soup recipe...very good.
Tomato Potato Soup (from From The Earth)
Heat a big pot with 2 1/2 T peanut oil.
Add 2 teas minced garlic
1 T minced ginger
Stir until garlic starts to tan
Add 1 2/3 C diced onion. Stir and let cook for 5 minutes on low heat
Turn heat up and add 3 C EACH diced tomato and potato.
Add 3-4 cups good saltless veggie stock (I used graham Kerr's, which
has a couple teas. of minced ginger in IT)
1 1/4 teas salt
1 1/4 teas sugar
Simmer until potato is soft but NOT falling apart.
Add 1/2 C chopped scallion and 1 teas. of the dark sesame oil

serve hot
