Years ago, I was buying sweet potatoes in the grocery store and a woman standing selecting produce a couple feet away said "too big." I honestly wasn't sure she was talking to me, selected another (large) sweet potato, and she repeated herself...

...explaining, "The smaller ones are sweeter." This lovely woman didn't have to do that. She didn't have to take the time to save my casserole, but she did, and I've been buying the smallest sweet potatoes ever since.

So to the lovely Black woman in Meijer ten-ish years ago who educated me on sweet potatoes? Thank you, ma'am. I appreciate that you took the time. I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving.
(This thread brought to you by gratitude & prepping the sweet potato casserole.)

PS: I thanked her then, too. But every time I make sweet potato casserole, I remember her and her kindness.
