I always joke that I WISH. I could “brainwash” the kids in my school. I would start by secretly commanding them to come to school every day, bring something to write with, and do their homework. You know, all the truly nefarious things.
My sweet potatoes are famous at thanksgiving, and have been spread to 4 different families and their various holiday tables. It’s literally just mashed sweet potatoes. Like you would make regular white potatoes, but… sweet. Add butter, milk/cream (whatever I have), salt, and brown…

I learned from a mentor years ago to ask, “What additional information might you need?” Sometimes I’ll also ask “What questions might you have?” It feels awkward to say at first because that’s not naturally how I talk, but it is amazing- people who never would have asked a clarifying…
