How to Turn Boiled Yams Into Yum

Taking the Cue from the Jamaicans

It is just very easy to know how to  bake yams for dinner. We could take our cue from the Jamaicans, who actually have yams as one of their staple dishes. First off, they usually get to peel the skin off their yams first, and then, they slice it into desired or bite sized pieces. After this, submerge the pieces in a pot of water and allow to boil for up to half an hour or until yams are tender to the prick of a fork. Boiled yams are best served when hot.

Another way on how to cook yams by boiling is to keep the skin on and then, simply boil it. Some of our friends love it that way, even though it does give them some disadvantage because they still have to peel off the skin from the boiled yams.

How to Boil Yams the Delicious Way

One way to boil yams and turn them into a really yummy and comforting recipe is by turning them into, what else but a soup. For our creamy yam soup recipe, we will need to melt two tablespoons of butter, and then, saute a cup of chopped onion, one medium piece of leek, sliced, and a chopped large clove of garlic. This needs to be sauteed for five up to about ten minutes, or until cooked but not burned.

After sauteeing, add in about five cups of peeled, cubed yams, four cups of chicken broth, a cinnamon stick, and about one fourth teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Boil, and then, remove the cover and simmer for about twenty minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Take out the celery stick, then, put in half and half and some maple syrup. Lightly season with pepper and salt to taste. Now, the result is a really delectable, creamy boiled yam soup.

Yet another way on how to cook yam is to boil yams and turn them into a soup with yet another popular vegetable option: the carrot. For this recipe, we will need about five cups of chopped sweet potatoes. Saute chopped onions and garlic in a tablespoon each of butter and olive oil. Then, add in the sweet potatoes and three cups of freshly chopped carrots, and saute some more for about five minutes.

After sauteeing, stir in about three and a half to four cups of chicken broth, depending on our preference, as well as two teaspoons of ground cumin, half a cup of skim milk, and one fourth teaspoon red pepper flakes on the sauteed mixture. Boil everything for about half an hour.

Once everything is cooked, puree the resulting soup in a food processor and blend in some milk until it is creamy and smooth. Garnish with croutons or chives.

How to Deal With Kids Who Want the Spy Net Video Watch

Most parents would definitely give this kind of contraption to their kids once a deal or a promise has been kept or fulfilled. So, maybe that’s just what parents with this situation would have to do. But actually, we really don’t think the Spy Net Video Watch is any more dangerous than simply being a fun gadget where kids can record videos without any body else noticing, except of course those who actually know what it is they’re doing. Parents can even teach the kids to use the Spy Net Video Watch in a constructive way, something that will help them recall memories or stuff like that.

Just What is The Spy Net Video Watch?

The Spy Net Video Watch is basically a watch like thing. It resembles a real digital sports watch, so when people see it, they tend to think that, like, oh, it’s the real thing, isn’t it? But then, it is not actually a watch, but a beautifully disguised video recorder. And yes, the Spy Net Video Watch has gained the notorious reputation of enabling kids to video tape their parents while they are engaged in horrid stuff, such as picking their noses, scratching their butt, and all that really funny kind of habit.

Are Cordless Phones OK for Business?

Cordless phones can be highly portable and fashionable, but most of the time, some companies still tend to gravitate toward corded phones because the signal reach in cordless phones is somewhat limited. However, if the business is basically a local one and there is absolutely no need for overseas contacts, then probably, a communications corps built around cordless phones might suffice. But please note that cordless phones depend largely on frequencies sent on the air for contact signals, so when there are lots of potential interferences, such as weather disturbances, chances are, the signal would be down as well.

How to Work This Around

To work around the problem with regards to the oftentimes weak signal in cordless phones, one way is to carefully choose a cordless phone by means of its signal reach. There are now a huge number of cordless phone models in the market these days that cater to this need, and that even sport rad looking designs. These type of cordless phones are actually especially tailor made to suit business and corporate needs. The great thing about business cordless phones? Companies who produce them know they need to sell them typically by the bulk, and once one buyer actually does that, he’s bound to get a discount all the time.
