The Skinny on Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes and yams are actually two very different vegetables.

While American grocery stores use the terms interchangeably, what they are always referring to is actually a sweet potato, not a yam. Garnet Yams and Jewel Yams, for instance, aren’t yams at all — they’re sweet potatoes! Candied Yams? Nope, sweet potatoes. Confused yet?

In fact, chances are that you’ll never accidentally buy an actual yam instead of a sweet potato at your local grocery. You can find “true” yams as well as other varities of sweet potatoes in Caribbean and Asian specialty grocery stores.

Flyers are done!

Even though Kinko's has a problem with not sucking, the flyers are done! I only have 120 of them which isn't many at all, is it? Hopefully I'll run out and have to get more made. But how hard is it to print a two-sided page and cut at cropmarks without cutting crooked WITH A MACHINE WHOSE PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO CUT STRAIGHT ALKSJASAS

Flyers hooray!!

Sweet potato awareness!
