(By the way, your description of that Anne Tyler novel could be pretty much ANY of Anne Tyler's novels. I like her but she is a bit repetitive.)Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-22921511980983825542019-05-18T21:58:55.852-04:002019-05-18T21:58:55.852-04:00I swear I replied to this and then it got lost.

Why can’t I call a repair person? I don’t trust myself to find the right one and I don’t trust them to take me seriously enough to do a good job. I don’t trust myself to know how to explain what I want. Hell, I don’t trust myself to KNOW what I want. So I keep walking past all of it, dreaming of someone coming in and doing it all for me like I’m on HGTV. You are not alone. But you did make that kickass shade so kudos woman.

With the sweet potatoes you cut them in wedges, put them in a bowl with two tablespoons of honey and two tablespoons of olive oil and a little red pepper flakes and get them all coated. Bake them on a baking sheet at 425 until they're tender and starting to caramelize (oh- salt and pepper them when you put them on the baking sheet). Mix up 1/4 cup of plain yogurt, about two limes' worth of the juice, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Drizzle that on the potatoes along with some cut up scallions. That's it!

We have them here in South Africa and they decimate the clivias.Aparently the birds don't eat them otherwise you could have put your hens on to them!
