I’ve been experimenting again! Actually, I was cleaning the kitchen this afternoon and realised I needed to either use or lose some things in the fridge and veggie bend. I also wanted something light and tasty for lunch and this is what I ended up with. I love potatoes, all kinds, all ways, especially smothered with yellow onions and a bit of bacon (a dish that I make for breakfast occasionally), but sweet potatoes were the only ones I had on hand.
It’s been a minute since my last food experiment so I figured I was long overdue. I decided to find out whether or not sweet potatoes and spring onions would play nicely together.

I was craving something cole slaw-esque for a snack as I watched my beloved Wimbledon, but wasn’t in the mood for the traditional cabbage and carrot variety. I wanted flavours similar to cole slaw, but not exactly. Know what I mean? Now, I do have a head of cabbage on hand, but I’m planning to use it to make fried cabbage for this evening’s dinner. Then I remembered that I had several other ingredients on hand that would make a nice salad or slaw of some type. Next thing I knew, I was putting together my own divalicious veggie medley — Broccoli-Carrot Salad.

While watching Sandwiches You Will Like, a food documentary I caught on PBS (public television) a couple of weeks ago, I was surprised and delighted to see one of my favourite childhood sandwiches featured. Not an omelette in the traditional sense, this unique egg foo yong patty, a mixture of eggs, vegetables and meat, if desired, is the heart of what is known as the St. Paul sandwich.
