Answer 1

First off Soul Food is just that, it come from with-in, it doesn't matter what color you are, if you don't add the love you're just eating McDonalds.

Old-Fashioned Sliced SweetPotato Pie


Ingredients:

pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
3 medium-size SweetPotatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds total)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 layer of pastry, set aside.

Wash, peel and cut SweetPotatoes into 1/4-inch slices. Combine 1 cup of water and the salt into a large saucepan. Add SweetPotato slices. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until SweetPotatoes are just barely tender when pierced, about 5 minutes. Drain slices, then rinse them with cold water until they are cool to touch. Drain slices well, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

To SweetPotatoes, add sugars, lemon juice, flour and pumpkin pie spice. Toss gently with a spatula until slices are evenly coated. Spoon SweetPotatoes into pastry-lined pie plate, dot top of potatoes with butter. Place top pastry over filling and crimp top and bottom pastries together to make decorative edge. Cut 3 to 4 slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Bake in 425 degrees F. oven until crust is browned and SweetPotatoes are tender when pierced, about 50 minutes. (If edges of crust start to brown too quickly, drape lightly with strips of foil. Cool pie on wire rack at least 1 hour. Serve warm or cool.

Answer 2

bake them with the skins on then spoon out the sweet potatoes. for the sweet potatoe pie for your yams use dark kalo syrup and brown sugar

Answer 3

It would not hook me even in spite of the undeniable fact that a number of your descriptions are superb. i could recommend which you do not start up with "A raven haired female etc" and then introduce her via call. Introduce her rapidly away e.g. "Zora Merion sat on the ledge of the great window overlooking the front of the very great domicile which were her kinfolk's domicile for generations. exterior the rain grew to become into torrential and hammered noisily on the window glass etc" in case you do something like this you have already presented her and indicated that she is wealthy. you besides mght point out what the climate is like too. a number of your sentences could desire to be joined mutually using fact they interrupt the flow of the artwork on the 2d e.g. "loose to do despite etc" and "extremely Zora felt trapped." attempt something like; "even in spite of the undeniable fact that she grew to become into in many circumstances loose to do despite she wanted she felt trapped using fact her no-nonsense mom grew to become into looking forward to a focused visitor and had banned her from enjoying her accepted video games etc." it particularly is totally nicely to apply 'she' or 'her' now and back extremely of Zora did this and Zora did that. besides the undeniable fact that I do discover the artwork beautiful so save at it and stable success including your tale.
