#Ipomoea batatas
Text
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) comes in a variety of colours such as orange, purple, white and yellow. They are also rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre. You can boil, bake, steam or fry them but in our house, we normally boil/steam it whole with skin or peel the skin and prepare it as Sweet Potato Dessert Soup (番薯糖水). Here, we are using Vietnam grown Japanese Purple Skin Sweet Potato with yellow flesh.

Hey Crew! Read everything!
Time to shower yourself in gold with the Dalliance Palette! FOR REAL THIS TIME! Inspired by fun, adventure and taking risks, this range stays with you.
What started as an April fool's joke resulted in having done the legwork to make sure I could actually do something about it if people liked it. So, this is going to be a limited pre-order. This is it. It will go into production once we reach the minimum and if the minimum isn't reached then everything will be refunded. If the minimum is reached, it will go into production and be sent out later this spring.
Pre-order starts April 15th and ends April 30. If you want this, don't hesitate because I will make no more than 100 of this palette and will not do a reorder.
Artwork: @gayjeris
Ads: @ipomoea-batatas

Jerry meets up with a guerrilla gardening group taking over empty public spaces to grow food for those that need it, sharing growing skills to increase community resilience. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe
Over the pandemic lockdowns, many of us were alarmed by images of empty supermarket shelves and supply shortages. Rather than running out and hoarding toot-roll, a group of young people saw it as an opportunity to provide for the vulnerable in their community and rethink how public space was being used.
Al Wicks says they’d “always had the pipe-dream of doing community gardens…over covid me and my friends started getting worried about food security for vulnerable people in the community”.
One of these friends was Ruby Thorburn, who says “there was an overwhelming sense of fear, seeing these empty supermarkets. We wanted to produce food overnight…to avoid red tape and bureaucracy and use direct action”.
In response, they formed “Growing Forward”, a community organisation dedicated to setting up guerrilla community gardens in underutilised public space. We’re visiting a site they’ve successfully converted from forgotten space to thriving community gardens with a purpose.
What started out with a bit of rule bending, has now garnered support of the whole community – including the council.
“We looked around and found a plot of land that was owned by the state government, but had been abandoned for over 90 years. Our neighbour works in council and looked into contamination reports that had been done on the soil and found it was good” says Ruby.
Leaning on Ruby’s permaculture background, they conducted a site assessment and identified a tap for water supply and a promising full-sun aspect. “The goal was community food resilience, and to get people thinking differently about food”.
After speaking with local indigenous elders to gain their permission to use the land, the group studied successful guerrilla community gardens to try to replicate what factors had made them work.
The first was wide community consultation. Every house in the surrounding area to the proposed garden was repeatedly doorknocked, to canvas any issues or concerns with establishing the garden- and identify anyone who was willing to help. Flyers were also distributed.
The next was rapid implementation. “Our goal was to set it up in 2 days, to skip the uncertain period where people are not sure what’s going on” says Ruby. “We just went ahead and did it” says Al.
“We brought in about 20 m2 of soil, and spent our personal money on it” says Al. “It took about a day to get it all in, there was a lot of community support”. While a lot of elbow grease went into the set-up, there’s no permanent infrastructure, which helps avoid the ire of bureaucrats
The first garden is at West End, in inner-south Brisbane, and it’s been a total success. Occupying around ¼ acre, it’s ringed by edible native plants with mounded beds of vegetables inside.
Everything grown goes back into the community to feed those who need it most. “The founding principles were doing free work for the community, and the produce is free”. “We have signs saying this food is going to vulnerable people, and it seems to work”.
At West End the produce goes to refugees living in the community, so Al and Ruby asked the refugee community organisation what they would like to eat. Accordingly, the fare is a little more diverse than what’s on offer at the shops, with sweet potato, okra, cassava, elephant foot yams and papaya thriving. It’s also become a place for meetings and picnics.
The approach has been a big success, regularly supplying food to community organisations and those most vulnerable, as well as building local connections. The program has expanded.
Featured Plants:
PAW PAW - Carica papaya cv.
SWEET POTATO - Ipomoea batatas cv.
CHILLI - Capsicum cv.
PUMPKIN ‘JAP’ - Cucurbita maxima cv.
OKRA - Abelmoschus esculentus cv.

So I saw this post by @ipomoea-batatas about Stede Bonnet becoming "a competent pirate by fully understanding and harnessing his own particular brand of lunacy" -- and I went a bit feral.
Because I think we've already seen the start of it.
Okay. Izzy Hands, right? And his very first meeting with Stede.
All anybody knows about this Bonnet guy is that (1) he and his crew have run aground, and it evidently wasn't on purpose because (2) instead of doing repair work or cleaning the hull while beached, the crew are just running around blowing shit up and loudly listing fish--
AND YET (3) these same people, lead by the unknown, untested Captain Bonnet, have managed to capture English officers.
You know who else Izzy knows who can pull off that kind of bullshit? Who looks mad as a hatter and half distracted by whether the clouds look more or less like lunch foods, and is nonetheless "legendary" and the "most brilliant sailor" he has ever met?
Yeah.
But there's only one Blackbeard out there, so whatever this Captain Bonnet's deal is, it's probably accidental, or they're just not getting the whole story, or whatever. It doesn't matter much. Izzy and his landing party don't even bother to engage beyond asking Buttons for some info-- they just buy the officers out from under Bonnet and head back to the ship, and that should've been the end of it until they all ran into each other at the Republic or, failing that, the gallows.
And then.
This fuckin' dude.
Who is wearing half of an incredibly expensive tailored outfit in the middle of the fucking jungle. Who's clearly got no fucking clue what to do with a blade, since he's got his knife brandished off to the side, leaving his center completely unguarded, and also it's a fucking knife. Against three professionals with swords and fucking guns.
This guy. Has just jumped pigeon-toed into Izzy's path and essentially proclaimed himself to be the elusive Bonnet.
(There are bows on this dick's unscratched high-heeled shoes, Izzy thinks. And he's just said the word "trifle" five fucking times.)
So yeah, Izzy figures he can cross "secretly clever" off his list of possibilities and chalk up all of Bonnet's successes so far to blind luck and a rich man's fancy. And that being the case, Izzy has the time and inclination to have a bit of fun and give this idiot a warning while he's at it. He spends a happy minute seeing if he can make the fop scream, faint, or blush his way back into the bush with a bit of swordplay and a lot of bared skin.
The man does, in fact, gasp. But he doesn't run. And instead of screaming or covering himself up-- or, fuck, even relying on some gentrified insult that would give Izzy the excuse to just kill the guy-- this absolute asshole raises his eyebows and fucking compliments him.
And Izzy's mouth is running on automatic, already going with the tee'd up line he'd had ready for this fuckwit when he inevitably said something classist about peasants or whatever-- except that's not what Bonnet had said, was it? and-- the fuck was that noise?
"Do you hear that?" says Bonnet, cocking his head and looking wide-eyed in the opposite fuckin' direction of the sound and just, like, electing to ignore the sword pointing at his chest. "I didn't know this isle was haunted."
It's clearly a diversionary tactic, just as it's clearly one of Bonnet's crew out in the forest. Izzy knows how this shit goes, he's seen Edward do it often enough.
(A strange thought slouches indistinctly into view behind Izzy's other, more pressing concerns.)
But for all that it's definitely a crewmember out there, Izzy can't deny that Bonnet's-- weird. Compliments. Sticking his ground. Those fucking shoes.
It's distracting.
(The thought is starting to make its way to the forefront of Izzy's mind, but its trenchcoat and enormous polyester wig are preventing him from identifying what his hindbrain has figured out well before his conscious brain has.)
Out in the real world, Izzy's sword doesn't drop, but his eyes do turn away for a moment, even though he knows he fuckin' oughtn't. He course-corrects-- goes with his gut, and decides to call Bonnet's bluff.
"It's obviously one of your men," Izzy says. If Bonnet had enough people for it, he wouldn't have stuck himself as bait. Fuck, he probably wouldn't have bothered with a fuckery at all, just surrounded the landing party and been done with it. The only logical scenario is that Bonnet doesn't have the resources to actually overpower Izzy's party--
But then--
Then why try at all?--
(The strange thought has started to use its elbows to ruthlessly shove its way to the front. The wig is lost in the shuffle.)
Captain Bonnet raises his brows again, eyes now tight on Izzy's. "But is it?" he says.
(Away goes the trenchcoat. There's leather underneath.)
"Yes it is," says Izzy.
Bonnet, despite Izzy's sword still pointed at his fucking chest, actually leans forward.
(Closer now, the thought says, "Izzy, Izzy, Izzy.")
Bonnet's eyes are wide, unblinking as he says, "But is it?"
("You know me," says the thought, and it sounds amused, and bored, and it's walking right past him and moving until it's looking out of this new captain's eyes, and--)
Izzy breaks. And after a bit more theatre, Bonnet wins.
Which could be fine, maybe, if Izzy'd been bested by another Blackbeard... but he wasn't. Stede fucking Bonnet is nothing like Blackbeard. Never mind the fuckery-- that was amateur theatricals, that's all. And certainly never mind the madness-- just a pampered rich boy who managed to make Izzy Hands blink.
Reason enough to hate Bonnet right there. Because if Izzy Hands has to confront the idea that someone silly and stupid with more money than sense can do exactly what Blackbeard does, but backwards and in heels with bows on them, then he'll have to confront some grim fucking truths about how exactly Edward has become a "legend" and what it means that Izzy was fooled by it for so very, very long.
#our flag means death#stede bonnet#izzy hands#s01e02#a damned man#I wanted to talk about how Stede has the ability and the drive to be an absolutely bananas pirate#but then I accidentally wrote a whole-ass breakdown of Izzy and Stede's meeting from Izzy's POV#whoops

I know I'm the only one grinding this axe but the tubers of ipomoea batatas are NOT yams OR potatoes
They're their own thing and calling them "sweet potatoes" is misguided and "yams" is just plain deceptive
They have a name! It's batatas!
And this matters because you cook them differently!! They want more cook time and have a completely different flavor profile than any potato or any yam!
Or look at the kiwifruit. Great fruit, very tasty. It's not from Aotearoa (aka New Zealand but renaming things that already had perfectly good names after other things that they aren't is what I'm on about! But the landmass containing Copenhagen and the one containing Auckland are harder to mix up). It's not kiwi. They originate from China and were being called "Chinese gooseberries" (despite not being gooseberries but they're green inside and I guess that's enough?) in English speaking markets but the name was changed for marketing reasons due to people being racist against the Chinese and so they rebranded to kiwi because that was politically more neutral and there were some being grown there
What's the kiwifruit's real name? I don't know but I bet it has one, in Chinese.
Or the word "pepper". Don't fucking get me started on pepper.
Anyway I think things should be named the things they're named and not other unrelated things
