Your sweet potato fries seem to have not only good color but they look of decent crunch. Your method? I've been served too many that are limp and don't deserve the "fries" moniker. Oh and the creamed spinach - a favorite comfort food. How done? We just did tthe standard Einbren/white sauce

 

 

The sweet potatoes came from a bag 😏 and were nice. But yes, coating with a bit of oil, salt and starch is the only way to get them somewhat crunchy.

 

Creamed spinach is indeed a basic bechamel (with sauteed onions and garlic, salt, plenty of nutmeg), rather stiff, and the thawed & drained spinach folded in. Then kept in the oven for about 20-30 min, during which the bechamel incoporated the water from the spinach and becomes silky.

sparrow juice

Okay, I give up. What in the world is sparrow juice? I can't find it on Google and I am left with the image of a tiny copper duck press. The only other image that I have is unspeakable.

@liuzhou  always answers  questions himself,  but I thought I would jump in here and save you the horror of thinking of the unspeakable. E790F0F2-524F-4758-AD83-295361057EDF.jpeg.8ea31ff0281d3afa15fbd721db856fe0.jpeg

Sorry! Asparagus! For some reason my son, when he was a kid, always called it sparrow juice and it has stuck in the family tradition. He did come up with others!

First I think you answered me before I had an opportunity to edit my post and get rid of the nonsense that the dictation had interpreted. But I also think that you were perhaps asking @Tropicalsenior what his/ her thoughts were.

Haha! I'll forgive you this time! I though for a second that I was being accused of inserting the dreaded GBP into my exquisite cuisine!

I apologize for answering a question that was addressed to you. I try never to do that but just the thought of anyone imagining squashed sparrows forced my hand. 😂

No need to apologise. Sparrows are OK, but you don't want to squash them. Marinate for a while then treat like quails. 😂

You are hurting us with the mulberries. There are a few trees in the area but I can't get to them. Yours look plump and juicy.
