Are you sure that you weren't trying to shave
while you were sleep walking, and the delicious
goodies were just shaving cream?

That would make sense, but no, and I'm ready to go back up there before it's gone!

I'm surprised that's hard. I mainly look for small ones, as most are ridiculously huge here, but the quality is fine with me.

I understand if you cut them in pieces and put them in a little water
they make lovely plants.

I can't even remember to cook food let alone look after plants. I did wonder if they would grow in the garden in this temperate climate though. I decided probably not and chucked them into the compost bin.

Well at least they'll become compost.

There's really not much to "look after." Cut a piece off (the piece with the
sprout would be a smart start), make sure the bottom is flat, and put it in
a shallow dish (maybe a jar lid or some plastic dish from some microwaved
food). Put a little water in the dish. Keep a little water in the dish. Watch
it grow! If you want to you can transplant into an actual plant pot, eventually.

Don't you have a windowsill with a little room?

I just looked at your photo again. That plastic tray would work perfectly.

I was thinking more of an attractive houseplant than one that actually
produces sweet potatoes.

Last night I dreamed my mother ordered a chocolate-covered lobster at McDonald's.

Sounds delicious. I'd have to substitute pecans for the walnuts, or just
leave them out completely. Would it still be a "Gordon Salad"?

Anything St. Patrick's Day themed? My mother used to make cakes for the different holidays.

Why don't they sell ready-made butterscotch cookie dough? All I ever see is chocolate chip, peanut butter, and sugar cookie.
