I would love to hear about the sweet potato recipes when you have a bit more time.
I wonder if purch is in front of the TV watching the trio of American football matches (DH is).
I have time now I think. Fir has had thirds of everything ( including my pie...I was more ambitious than I was successful) and is thinking about more potatoes already, we've just finished putting stuff away!
What would you like to know about sweet potatoes?
Most basic sweet potato recipe is to mash them and adorn with marshmallows and grill them a bit. Or you can spice the sweet potatoes a bit. Or make a bit of a souffl! or pudding. Tonight I mashed mine with eggs,fresh ginger, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt( but left out the brown sugar and double cream the recipe asked for) the crumble top was butter, brown sugar, oats, pecans and marsh mallow. It was good. The fresh ginger really lifted up and it was plenty sweet enough!
I never cook 'green bean casserole' either ( like the stuff with canned soup) we had fresh green beans tonight. Every thing else is tampered with, the fresh beans are a relief! ( everything else is pretty calorific too, butter, syrup, honey, sugar......some beans feel a relief)0 -

It's the whole threshold ......all the way along a particular line. But nothing I can do about it tonight. So no point obsessing tonight.
Will worry in the morning.0 -

I hope it's something daft/fixable like a bunch of leaves blocking the drain directly over the door ... causing rain to fall onto the door and over the threshold - something that simply takes a ladder and a hand for 10 seconds.0 -

Me too.
It will be good news if that's the case.0 -
Thanks lir. Sounds interesting with Marshmallows, not something I'd think of doing in a month of Sundays. I wonder if I could substitute a honey glaze as that's more my texture/sweetness preference. Sounds lovely though!Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

The marsh mallows melt. I know it sounds gross. Its not my normal style either, common.....you must think that when reading it, but it works.
Try the crumble version with the fresh ginger , its good. Have it with a cranberry nut roast, and...hmm, no potatoes for you, hmmm...wild rice! That would be a nice treat meal. 0 -

Professional over cleaning person is a whole different ball game from cleaning it yourself. It returns the oven to such cleanliness that you can't tell it's not brand new. I would really recommend it for anybody moving into a house and feeling squeamish about other people's cooking grease etc on the oven.PasturesNew wrote: »Ovens have a grill inside them. When you turn the oven on, I think the grill bit heats up as part of the oven heating up process (not really sure about this).
So if you put something on, say, the top shelf, it's right under that built in grill element.
No. The grill element is separate from the part that heats the oven when it's being an oven rather than a grill. The grill element heats by radiating heat straight at the food from above, and cooks the top of the food more than the rest of it. The oven bit heats up all the air inside the oven and cooks the food from all directions more or less equally.PasturesNew wrote: »Lots of cleaning instructions there .... "The inside of the oven and stainless steel parts should be cleaned after every use" - which it hasn't been.
Do any of the NP clean their ovens after every use? It has never occurred to me do that. Am I a slob, or are the people who comply with the recommendation to clean after every use being OCD about it??Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

I'm definitely in the peasant class on that measure of social class, then.
