It is not just the English-speaking world that has this mingling of word usage - the word for "recipe" and "receipt" in Russian is "resept" and is used for both meanings. I noticed when I was in Russia, that though I often asked for women's recipes when tasting their cooking, I never received any..... they like their cooking secrets to remain so!

Oh my ... I do love lamb stew and this one doesn't have peas in it (which puts my DH off something fierce) and adding a lot of rosemary would just be perfect.Ooooh, would it be good to add some cubed yam? I love yam in stews and soups.

Um, sweet potatoes aren't the same, but are very similar and often the two = are called by each others name. Yams are grown in the U.S. ... I love them = baked in a very hot oven in the skin, broken open, butter, and sometimes a = little sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. And then eat them cold for breakfast the= next day just plain. Old childhood habits die hard. Especially when they'r= e pleasant childhood habits, LOL.

My very most favorite sweet potato recipe:
Slice an onion and saute for a few minutes in olive oil, then Add a sliced sweet potato or two (depending on size of sweet potato - some of them are huge!) Sprinkle with cinnamon, salt and pepper to taste. Cook until onion & potato are tender, but not mushy. I usually put a little water in and put a lid on the skillet for a few minutes.
I always get the orange sweet potatoes instead of the yellowish looking ones. I just like the pretty color better!
My granddaughter who is lactose and gluten intolerant and can't have anything with soy in it loves this recipe, there's nothing in it she can't eat!

Sally you may be wise. I can't really feel I've celebrated Thanksgiving unl= ess I've melted marshmallows on top of yams. But it can be tricky because y= ou add marshmallows AFTER the yams are all cooked and then pop them under t= he boiler for a little bit of browning and melting. One of my sons' favorit= e holiday memories is the year (just about 7 years ago now) that I set the = marshmallows on fire. In the oven. Yes, it was as horrible as it sounds. Fo= r several minutes total bedlam ensued, including the smoke detectors going = off, the dog howling at the smoke detectors, smoke filling the upstairs, fl= ames shooting out the oven door (which I stupidly jerked open) and finally,= the ritual smothering of the flames with a new kitchen towel. Of course th= e marshmallows were black crisps and had to be scraped off, but we made an = amazing discovery: the yams had caramelized and were so sweet and so perfec= t that one son and I ended up scraping them out of the pyrex dish and eatin= g them with a spoon. I do let someone else do the marshmallow part now ....= ............
love Thanksgiving, Sunny who also loves to cube yams and roast them in a hot oven with a little oliv= e oil, chili powder and cumin.
