as you may remember, two weeks ago was jason’s birthday. one of jason’s birthday presents from me was a week of potatoes.

while planning our menu for that week, i threw in a couple sweet potato recipes. when i ran the list past jason, i was informed that “sweet potatoes are not potatoes.” he was appalled i even brought it up. i personally enjoy a sweet potato significantly more than a normal potato, but that’s relationships, right? you sometimes just have to eat a week of the wrong kind of potato… anyways, this curried sweet potato soup was stricken off the birthday week list, but i am getting my revenge way today.
