Beans & Sweet Potatoes followed by Beans & Potatoes

It is not that I haven't been cooking, it is that I haven't had internet.

I used up all of my sweet potatoes in one good show - I think there were less in the share than the last time I got them, which was definitely not a problem for me.

I adopted a Bittman recipe.
I'm totally made up the measurements on the herbs, here.  I just couldn't do it.
Oven to 325.
Mix 3 c rinsed cooked beans with 1 t thyme and 1 t herbes de provence in the bottom of a casserole dish.  Peel and halve a sweet potato or two and slice fairly thinly into half moons.  Spread in a single(ish) layer on top of the potatoes.  Pour 1 c of vegetable broth (I used the Pink Stuff, I'm def going to miss it when I run out) over the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper and more thyme.  Then take 3 T of butter and put dabs of it all over the top, cover with foil, and bake for 45 minutes.  Take off the foil and cook 45 minutes more.

Yum.

In the next farm share I got regular potatoes and I did the same recipe.  I just think I learned a lesson:  use sweet potatoes like regular potatoes, instead of making them sweet.  Because I really don't like sweet things.
