I have a huge sweet potato, and when I was deciding what to do with it I was speculating wildly about my ability to make things like sweet-potato home fries. And I'd been thinking about scalloped potatoes already (except I only have two potatoes) when suddenly I thought: omg brilliant! Savory scalloped sweet potato! (None of that weird scalloped-sweet-potato as dessert thing, with sugar and cinnamon and apples.) With cheddar cheese and bechamel! How perfect for the day after sixteen inches of snow (beating the typical April-to-date record by fourteen inches)!

However, this seemed rather like the sort of dinner revelation that should be pondered further. (After all, I am the person who suddenly and on a whim decided that crushed tomatoes, canned tuna, and white beans would make a brilliant pasta sauce. Especially when topped with cheddar. Um. It was actually kinda good. Probably a clear sign that I was really short on some essential nutrient, though.)

Hence: a poll.

Yes, I'm right with you on the milk v. cream. Skim milk, too ::sighs::. But keeping heavy cream lying around the house.. just begging to be whipped and ladled over something sweet? So. Not. Wise.
