[quote=GirlyMuscle;871872]In the USA I buy sweet potatoes that are single serving size. They don't have sweet potatoes like that here. NONE of them are small.[/quote]
We do. Just don't seem to be around at the moment. Usually their are about 4 or 5 different types of sweet potato. They must be out of season at the moment or something. It just seems to be the big ones in the shops at the moment.
[quote=Sledge;871873]NOW I WANT SWEET POTATO FRIES TOO.
And I'm stuck at work eating out of ziploc bags for another three nights.[/quote]

No maam. :(

The saying is that "everything is bigger in the USA", so it's odd that our sweet potatoes are bigger than theirs....:p
I had kangaroo steaks the other night. Yum!!!!!

That's not right is it. I thought that the USA was the 3rd biggest country area wise and Australia was the 4th.

Koalas
goodnight!!
I thought Australia and continental US were the same size...but add Alaska in and it almost doubles.
Exactly. Continental USA is a bit bigger than Austrailia but the you have to add in Alaska and Hawaii.
I love that map where they show Alaska laid over top of the lower 48, Alaska takes almost the whole space.
Me thinks GM is never coming back.

I wouldn't either.
GREAT. I check in for my weekly visit and you guys are all talking about FOOD..
[quote=fatbackgoal;872199]Me thinks GM is never coming back.[/quote]
I have to. I'm here on a visitor's visa. If I don't leave immigration will come and get me!
Made another batch of sweet potato fries. This time I just put a good bit of oil in the pan, then added the fries. Upped the temp to 450. Got a much crispier batch. Sprinkled salt after they came out of the oven. Gotta twice bake the other way after they've cooled to crisp them up. I will get this right!
