Can you imagine how short their lives would be if they didn't eat all
those carrots?

I remembered to check at the grocery store last night: $0.35/lb.
I doubt they'll get any lower. Jeeze, I just checked Kroger's weekly
flyer. $0.69/pound is their sale price.

My Kroger offered them at 49¢ per pound I thought that a tad high.

Well, I don't even remember a $0.19lb price. Most years, sale
price is no less than $0.29. I was surprised with this one
from the normally more expensive store. Harris Teeter.

Anyway... this week it's $0.19lb sale price.
Without store card, it's $0.99lb

Yesterday, I bought 4.41 pounds @0.99 lb
Regular price was $4.37
Using store card for sale, I paid $0.84.
A $3.53 savings. That's a bit more than just saving pennies.

I'll buy more next Wednesday, while still on sale,
for future storage.

Common in Japan but other than they grow them, might actually come from
another country originally.

They are grown over here and called Okinawan sweet potatoes. If we ship them to the mainland, they'd might be called Hawaiian sweet potatoes. My daughter bought some yesterday. They're called "White Okinawan Sweet Potatoes" but they are not. What gives? Beats me.

Okinawa's in Japan, so what do Hawaiians know about it anyway.

That would be more than you know about Hawaii, Japan, Okinawa, and America. Using your way of seeing things, the Indonesians know nothing about the Dutch. Of course, that's not true. Even I, who knows almost zero about Indonesia or the Dutch, knows that.

My guess is that your educational system is dumbing down the citizens. It's working just great if you're representing. My suggestion is that you buy one of these - right away. It's only $10.95!

Your redirection technique is lame. Please study up and refine it. Also, don't use it on me because it doesn't work. Thank you.

You're redirecting because otherwise you could only agree with me.

I have some sweet potatoes that were selling for $2.99/lb. I stuck them in the slow cooker overnight. Just for laughs, I stuck in a couple of Idaho spuds. I'll probably make some hash with the white potatoes or fry it up with some eggs. The sweet potatoes might get made into some pies. It's the stupidest, simplest, way to cook a sweet potato.

How did they turn out? Have you done it before? High or low?

I've never done it before but they come out fine. You just toss the potatoes in the slow cooker and forget about it. I used the low setting. It was about 11 hours before I checked on it. Now I have to do something with it. I had a couple of white potatoes in there so I fried it up with some Portuguese sausage and topped it with tomatoes and scrambled eggs.

the way i've done it that works fine for me is to put
them in a covered bowl and nuke for some minutes and then
turn them and nuke again until done. since there are only
two of us and we don't do too many at a time this comes
down to about 4-5 minutes x 2 so 8-10 minutes total.

of course time will vary based upon number and size of
sweet potato and microwave oven.

since i don't need to do any other prep than to wash
the skin off (i sometimes eat the skin) it goes quick.

Microwaving would have it's advantages - it works about 66 times faster than cooking potatoes in a slow cooker.

I cooked some fish tonight for my wife to take to work. Misoyaki salmon. I wouldn't normally cook fish in a microwave but in this case, it works great. The salmon was cooked for 2 minutes and then hit with a propane torch. Microwaving is super fast!

ah, well, then, surely skip and eat things you
enjoy instead.

i'm pretty much an omnivore these days. if it
doesn't move fast enough it might get eaten.

LOL I don't know about you, but I am disliking more foods the older I
get. Foods that I used to love, I take a little and then I am not
interested.

I enjoy cooking too much to stop and I am very lucky that D. enjoys
what I cook. I am just not really interested in eating

Microwaving would have it's advantages - it works about 66 times faster than
cooking potatoes in a slow cooker.

I cooked some fish tonight for my wife to take to work. Misoyaki salmon. I
wouldn't normally cook fish in a microwave but in this case, it works great.
The salmon was cooked for 2 minutes and then hit with a propane torch.
Microwaving is super fast!

It's just cabbage. This fish goes good with rice but I'm trying to cut out rice for most meals. Black cod works best for this dish but that fish is expensive on this rock. Salmon is cheaper. If I was in your neck of the woods, I'd probably be making misoyaki butterfish frequently. My guess is that black cod is cheaper in your town.

Thanks) I have never seen butterfish here) I do cook salmon though
because D. likes it. In fact I think I have used a recipe of yours before
and I will use this one the next time)

I use a fair few of your recipes for various things anyway, so, thank
you very much)))
