Hi There David,
Thanks you for your post, OK I had to share this recipe! Its Healthy AND everyone will love it AND it goes great with almost everything -Sweet Potato Fries!

Ingredients for for Sweet Potato Fries
1 Sweet potato per person
non stick cooking spray
Salt and pepper or seasoned salt or cinnamon (it depends on the flavor you like best).

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425F

1. Wash sweet potatoes.

2. Peel Sweet Potato (this works better if you steam them for 4 minutes first but its not necessary).

3. Slice lengthwise into � inch strips

4. Place strips single layer on 18 x 26 x 1� baking tray that has been lightly sprayed

6. Spray the tops of the sweet potato fries with butter lightly

7. Sprinkle the seasoning (cinnamon,salt and pepper, or seasoned salt) over tops of the sweet potato fries

My favorite is the seasoned salt but I did have them with cinnamon one time and they were really good!
Keep up the good work

Comment on A straw bale building that looks like a building by David

Hi Kandi

Just before I go to sleep, if you click on the link just below the last pic, it’ll take you to Tree Hugger, where there’s this para:

I really lost count of how many TreeHugger buttons this building pushes. The Straw Bale Café by Hewitt Studios is “an extended 100 seat cafe, refurbished kitchen and cafe terrace for the Holme Lacy campus of the Herefordshire College of Technology. The extension is conceived as a College learning aid in low-impact environmental design”

There are links to Hewitt Studios and to the Herefordshire College of Technology sites.

I think that should do you. Please shout if it doesn’t.

Tomorrow, I’ll have a look at your site and your house.

Wow, that is truly ‘funky’ for a straw bale structure. Personally, too many very straight lines for my taste, but cudos to the owners for building with straw. I would love their website if you have it please.
In the meantime, you may want to check out my site as I have built my own straw bale home, and live there. I can assure you, it is no ‘medieval’ structure. I have all the ‘mod con’s’ and am being gentle on the planet at the same time (more than most anyway!)
Let me know the name of the web site for the above cafe and I wuold love to blog on it too.
Regards

Found website on hearing that tune yet again, and thought there must be someone else who finds the tune such an antidote to life affirmation! Ugggggh

Thanks Helen

Where did you get your varifocals from? A chain or an independent?

I’ve been wearing varifocal glasses for the last two years and I haven’t had any problems with viewing my large PC monitor at work (and I’m working on it all day). In fact, I’m about to get my 2-year eye test and suspect I’ll need new distance and near vision prescriptions but I can still see the PC perfectly!

My glasses were expensive (the lenses were more than £300). I believe that the quality can vary. Also, if you have chosen a frame with lenses which are quite small, this will affect how well the varifocals work.

Good luck.

Anyone can have a piece, of course.

First come, first served! (It looks like two of the four pieces have been claimed so far).

Why don’t you leave me your contact details via my Contact form, and we’ll work out how to get Herman to your Mum?

Hello David!

Are you only giving it to real friends or can anyone have a piece?
My mum lives in Worthing at the moment. I’m hoping she’d be able to keep it going until January when she comes to see me.
Anyway, best of luck with it!
