[...] Plate of Wander. Ellis, you had me after this line in your About page: “she teaches college English, travels China, and eats enough food to feed two or three grown men.” You have to love a woman who is passionate about writing and travel, and never apologizes for her appetite. While she has no Chinese beau, she’s written about the rarity of such relationships (and expressed an openness). Ellis has since moved back to the US, but China and food are still close to her heart.

Hi T,
Yes! I love making fries from sweet potatoes as well. I usually end up seasoning them the same way as I season the potatoes and it’s just as tasty. And definitely more nutritional, though since John prefers the potatoes we eat those more often than sweet potatoes.

Have you tried making fries with sweet potato? I experimented with sweet potato once, seasoning it with sugar and cinnamon instead, and it was alright. Sweet potato has better nutritional content than potato, too.

I learned the trick to making peacocks spread their tail when I was three years old at the Phoenix zoo- I had just recently encountered a talking parrot, and thought that all brightly colored birds could do the same, so when I saw a peacock I started screaming “THEORA! THEORA!” (hoping they’d say my name back). Apparently my name (and high-pitched voice) sounded enough like their mating call, and several of the males fanned their tails right away! Clearly you figured it out, too- those closeup shots of feather textures are beautiful!

As your own personal chilicultist [-> http://www.chilicult.com, I must preach to you to mend your ways, give up on the abomination that is that thing called ketchup, and argue for the benefit of chile peppers and salsa.

That said, mmmmm, oven fries, nyomnyomnyom.
Sounds de-lish…
