Recipe rec anyone?
I'm home with a stomach infection of some kind today, and bored to tears. I've been knitting, and will probably knit some more. I made a loose sleeve thing - it's a close fitting tube for my arm made from thick woolen yarn, 65% regular wool and 35% alpaca (which is wool from a llama I think), and the pattern is a double rib pattern (knit 2, purl 2 - I had to look that up *heh*). I tend to knit loose parts of clothing in different qualities of woolen yarn because I have trouble keeping warm in the cold season, and the loose pieces make it possible to wear more layers and still be able to move around. I make a sort of "fingerless glove" - just a tube of knitting really, with a hole for the thumb - which I wear whenever it's just slightly cold, whether inside or outside. The fingerless part makes it easy to use my hands when I'm wearing them - cooking is the only kind of activity where I can't wear them - and I almost always wear them when working at the computer as computers make me cold. Both my kids use them when biking - the wind always blows up your sleeves when you bike - and their friends are always begging for a pair.
I have a small sack of sweet potatoes, but I don't have any recipes to use them in. I basically just cut them up and roast them in the oven when we get some - but now we have so many and it would be really boring to eat them all cooked in the same way. Do any of you Americans have some nice recipes for sweet potatoes you'd be willing to share? There are no European recipes to be found as sweet potatoes are still pretty new on the market here - we've been eating them for about 4-5 years, but most of our friends have never had them except when visiting us.
I'll go back to knitting the second loose sleeve now... *is bored senseless*
