What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today? (2018-2022)

[Morning Glory]

My wife washed and peeled one. Raw it has consistency of a crisp apple but tastes of nothing.

Or maybe I'm coming down with Covid-19?

From what I can gather its an ingredient that is used in Thai stir fries. Its a bit like water chestnuts and is mainly used for texture. As Master Cutler comments it can also be made into a syrup. There is some info here:

Having never heard of Yacon before, I have just googled it.
It sounds absolutely amazing with impressive benefits.
I may try and get some for a try.
Perhaps get the syrup for sweetening.

I had Yakon in the past, and even cooked with it. But cannot for the life of me remember exactly what I did!

I did a fridge clean and organize session this evening. I found some OLD stuff in the back. Only a couple of science projects. I found few duplicates, including three tubs of cream cheese, two tubs of sour cream, and one bottle of BBQ sauce I thought I was out of, and bought a new bottle just a few days ago.

Now I have more room to stock things that will actually get eaten.

Yes, a tomahawk ribeye in the US is considered a meal for at least two people when served in a steakhouse. I will cook this one for me and a friend.

I love asparagus as a side as well, as an aside we planted s crown of asparagus last year, we never picked the few that sprouted so it would be Stronger this year. I fry in small pan with dash of balsamic at the end.
