OK, but I *still* think it's disgusting to ruin perfectly good yams or sweet
potatoes. This past Thursday, I was assaulted with a dish of hideo-crap by
one of the so-called guests at the dinner I attended. 2 inch layer of sweet
potatoes. 1 inch layer of crumb-brown sugar spew, 1/2 inch layer of solid
marshmallows. WTF are these people thinking? The hostess later served a
sweet potato pie that tasted more natural than the slop that was
masquerading as a vegetable dish.
