Sweet potatoes were not so sweet...
Recently I have been praying for a financial miracle... Partially to help our permanently low bank balance but also to buy a cinema or something exciting like that ;-)
Imagine my intrigue when I was silently handed a little green slip with my Sainsbury's receipt this evening with the words "The Big 5 Drive" written on it and, "Peel to reveal if you're a 5 Drive winner!" "GREAT!" I thought, "This is the miracle!! I've won an expensive car to sell on eBAY or a million pounds!" I peeled it back to reveal the following demoralising text, written in a sickening cheesy tone:
CONGRATULATIONS you have won Sainsbury's sweet potatoes, 1KG
Well... How about telling me some GOOD news?! What would I do with a KG of these phallic looking creatures?! (actually they look slightly more like dog poo?!) Still we must be grateful for small mercies and they can only increase :-)

Sweet potato rocks! It's lovely mashed or roasted. I'd be well chuffed to get some for nothing.
I'd rather have a free car though.
Yes - I have a GORGEOUS recipe for sweet potato soup which I actually made this lunchtime - I will email it if u want? They are truly delish roasted too...yum!
That sounds great!! Thanks :-)
feel slightly embarrassed to be writing these- living up to all vicar's wives' cliches- bring them on.!.................... but nae- sweet pots are great- you can roast them (just ike normal pots), boil them and mash them (add nutmeg or pepper to flavour) or boil and puree into a soup (add onions or lentils or anything! and add stock). Enjoy!
