Sweet Potatoes on the Ceiling

Notes for making a successful sweet potato soup.

1. If the blender doesn't seem to be mixing the sweet potatoes well enough, do not insert the wooden spoon into the blender while blending. Doing so may cause the spoon to split and sweet potatoes to be spewed onto the counters, blinds, cupboards, your hair and the ceiling.

2. Even if you're short, flinging the sponge at spots of sweet potatoes in aforementioned locations will not clean them, and in fact may result in the dirty sponge landing squarely in the middle of the crock pot.

3. When washing out the offensive blender, do not empty the water from the blender in haste in your frustration, it may result in dirty water splashing up out of the sink and over the countertops.

4. Recommended dessert: humble pie.
