We have a lot of sweet potatoes in our house. I mean…a LOT. Dave is not crazy about sweet potatoes, but we’ve been getting them almost every week in our CSA basket. I love sweet potatoes, but I’m only one woman! Those orange spuds have been piling up in the produce bin on our counter.

On Sunday we were heading to a cookout, and I decided that this was my chance to make a dent in the sweet potato stash. As you guys have probably noticed, I can’t really leave a recipe alone, but I hardly changed this one at all! Here’s my version, ever so slightly adapted from the Sweet & Savory Sweet Potato Salad over at VegWeb.

Yesterday was the last LOST, and we had folks over starting at 6:30 for a potluck and drinks while we watched the 2 hour recap episode and the 2.5 hour finale. It was a lot of TV. The recap was sort of….lackluster. I thought the fan letters were really cheesy, and the cast interviews didn’t really add much value. We mostly gabbed and ate during that part.

A few folks were disappointed in the episode, too, but I really dug it! My only wish is that they’d worked in something about Aaron or the whole fertility thing. That felt like quite a big thread to leave hanging. The episode was great, though – funny and sentimental. It was everything I love about LOST, and I can’t wait to rewatch it! What did you guys think?

I really wanted to make a themed side dish but just completely ran out of time. Sunday morning, I was in Asheville after the Montford Music and Arts Fest, so I basically drove into town, whipped something up, and then people started showing up for the finale. The inspiration for this potato salad was the beautiful fennel that came in our Vegetable Husband baskets last week, and I thought the salad came out delightfully!

The weather is warming up, and I’ve got picnics and summery food on the brain! This is sort of a twist on a plain ol’ potato salad. The Indian spices make it just a little spicy and super-special!
