Yes I love mashed sweet pots by themselves. But always baked, the boiled lose
something in the water. I did make a peanut butter soup once, of Indian origin
I think. Had curry in it. I liked it but the fam thought it too wierd. But
peanut butter omelet? That I gotta try. Somebody on FoodTV put a chocolate
sauce on steak. Do I dare?
