Sorry 'bout that! Anyway - we are back... and it's time to thing about the starchy vegetables that star in our holiday recipes. And to make you greatful that mashed potatoes today... are what they are! But it's also a chance to think about - how much work bread really is, and what we would use to take it's place. No candied yams here kids, and no pumpkin pie at war. But maybe it's time to reconsider our looking down on the potatoes - both kinds. And find new (old) ways of eating squashes.
