All morning long I have been listening to coworkers talking about sweet potatoes. It seems that you can cook these things in the microwave.
Did you know that? I didn’t.
There's any number of things that you can do with a sweet potato, all of which will render it DELICIOUS!

Frankly, sweet potatoes do not wangle my oyster.

Rare indeed is the woman who doesn't appreciate being likened to a little bokchoi.
Oh, mon petit Brassica campestris de Chine, mon chose douce!
See, that's love talk right there. Eloquent!
Either that or the French are berserk, but if the alternative is believing that women are sweet potatoes, we must probably reject that theory.
Mustn't we, mes choux petites?

I must have had too much coffee that day.
