My evening walk was eventful this evening. Mr Woof and I got to play Good Samaritan! A woman cleaning a house down the road was having trouble getting the owners key locked back in the key safe. Happily I have a very similar one so knew how it worked and was able to help, although their safe was a bit beaten up and it took quite a few attempts (and a broken nail) to get it closed. Then Mr Woof got scared when she picked up her broom and barked at her, but he was a very polite gentleman otherwise.

The universe did reward us - the delay meant I was walking back past the food cupbard just after it had been stocked so could stop instead of making a cold dark trip back later. I got a sweet potato (which I haven't had for a while), a few salad ingredients and some grapes.

Sweet potato microwaves exceptionally well

I love a mashed sweet potato. You need very little butter and milk and it goes so well paired with all the meats.

I like to use it as part of a pasta sauce
