ReplyDeleteThat has been added and can be found under the PEOPLE section. Thanks for suggesting!
DeleteThank you. Your explanations are pithy, substantive, and not lacking in nuance for their relative brevity. You research and synthesize your various sources to create accessible definitions. Could you delineate the difference between sweet potatoes and yams? I've heard conflicting information about this, and find myself using them interchangeably. Thanks, and I've been enjoying your blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have worked hard and knowing it is appreciated is refreshing. I will include sweet potatoes/yams in the next update. Great suggestion.
DeleteInteresting update on the yams/sweet potatoes, and I now suspect my grocery store is mislabeling sweet potatoes as yams. I had no idea the history of this confusion is rooted in slavery. Such a sad element to this, but definitely enlightening. Thanks again!
