I am making roast sweet potatoes instead of normal ones.

Sweet potatoes are a vast improvement on normal, in most cases.
Especially roasted or baked.

massive disagreement.
sweet potatos are nice at first but you're portion sizes need to be smaller because it gets too much. its like pepsi and coca cola.

sweet potato chips though, a small bowl of them is ace

That is true, but I tend to pad them out with roasted carrots, squash or whatever other root veg I have.
Pure sweet potato mash can be a little sickly, but baked sweet potato with a load of butter is fantastic.

never tried that. think i might have a normal baked potato tonight actually
all the ingredients i have at the moment are:
1 bag of maris piper
1 bag of cooking onions
1 bag of penne
2 bags of spaghetti
1.5 kg of cathedral city
1 bottle of really fucking hot sauce
and butter
:(

Cook some onions in butter, stir with cooked pasta and grate over hefty amounts of cheese.
really fucking hot sauce optional.

this is what i have been living on for the last week :)
i also included some garlic deep fried in olive oil as well on one occasion.

but that was more luck than judgement.

I'm intrigued as to what circumstances can luckily provide you with deep fried garlic

i was heating some olive oil in a sauce pan with view to pouring it over the pasta i was making
i told ladywoman to put the garlic in a the pan, refering to the sauce pan where i was frying the onions and pancetta. she put my nicely chopped garlic in the hot oil and i didn't realise until i poured it over the pasta. it was really rather good.

That does sound like a happy incident.
I hope you didn't punish her too severely.

good point
i'm now trying to remember when the family last bought the sun, i know we stopped when eddie shah kicked off today, which sadly went south rather swiftly.

1986 it would seem.

Christ, I remember that...
My Mum always buys The Scum and she argues with dad about which is better, The Scum or The Mirror.
I sit there with my Times and laugh quietly. I even understand some of the words.
