Best microwaved sweet potato evah! Or.... [View all]

maybe I was just really hungry. P

Didn't eat with Bill earlier, the rain and my stomach are conspiring to make me feel crappy today, so I finally decided to eat something. I nuked a huge sweet potato and then added some pumpkin pie spiced butter, extra cinnamon, and a drizzle of real maple syrup. Soooooooo good!

And the "or maybe I was just really hungry" is a long standing joke around here when the meal is amazing. Our good friend Alan came for dinner one day and was raving about the meal as we all sat there stuffed....he asked all sorts of questions about how it was made, what EXACTLY was in everything, trying to figure out WHY it was so good. Finally after a good fifteen minutes of quizzing us, while raving about it's awesomeness one last time, he added "or maybe I was just really hungry" Bill and I, of course, cracked up, and it took him a second to figure out what he'd said.

So now, every time he's here and complementing the food, we hit him with "or maybe you were just really hungry"
