Very good and informative post. Thank you!
Thank you for your visit.
You are welcome, my dear! I enjoy reading your posts.
How about LockDown Help Series. People can talk about how they are coping and stayingh safe.
I might, I just have been trying to stay away from that subject because it is talked about so often. But maybe, we will see. Thanks!

Popeyes version of sweet potatoes!
How about a top 10 bad jokes told by Kim/Doc and others!
Funny man, that is a good one. I will pass on the bad jokes for now. 🙂
it was worth a shot, I’ve got a million of em!
I just love potatoes not sweet … if I rightly say I have never tasted it and probably won’t either …. for me potatoes are potatoes
I love all kinds of potatoes. These are only sweet only if you add sugar to them.
It makes me want to combine bananas, sweet potatoes, and chocolate. Perhaps you could look to see something like odd things in this world and write up about those.
You might could make a casserole with those foods. 🙂 Thanks for the idea. There are definitely plenty of odd things in the world.
Very interesting information once again! This one I don’t eat often enough.
Thanks, trying to mix it up a little bit. I love these.
I love potatoes. We have not been able to buy sweet potatoes in our country for a long time.
Same here, all types of potatoes.
The challenge of curiosity for countries around the world continued
Yes indeed, something to do with all this extra time right now.
