I like this idea since i love sweet potato.

I tend to use whatever is handy. I usually have flat-bread/naan on hand and goat cheese. Tonight I made, on whole wheat naan, a fig goat cheese, cilantro, green onion with a drizzle of EVOO, pizza. Seasoned with red pepper flakes, black pepper, Hungarian hot paprika and Italian oregano. Easy and no need to go shopping. I have frozen blanched asparagus in the fridge but was in the mood for minimal prep. Allergies have been kicking my butt!

I bought my flat-bread since I'm not a fan of baking. Ingredient wise for toppings, anything goes and, unless you are baking pastries, cakes, cookies, pies, flat-breads, etc., there's no need to measure (except my mother who was so old-school she "measured" ingredients like flour and sugar by pouring them into her cupped palm plus a pinch of this and that!). Just eyeball it, I say, if you're confident with your palate and yourself!

Sorry, didn't get to finish. To finish the last sentence: with your flatware in it. To clarify, silverware or stainless? Canned tomatoes have citric acid.

I never have problems. I think they don't want a soup or something simmering away for hours

Citric acid dissolved in water makes a great final rinse and there is no vinegar smell. It works well on calcium deposits. Surig Essig-Essenz Concentrated Vinegar is 25% acid. This product is good if you want a more concentrated vinegar for cleaning. It is food grade but please don't use it at this strength on a salad! I find it in the European section of our local international market and it can also be ordered on line.

I don't salt the water so it's not salty. The taste is light and pleasant. The only way you'll know is to try it. It's definitely good for you! After blanching, you have tea. I wouldn't want to go too long and risk the liquid becoming bitter. Hope this helped!

I grow my own sprouts (soooo easy!!!). After blanching or steaming, don't throw the liquid away! Drink it like hot tea. It contains nutrients that you don't want to pour down the drain! We actually fight over who gets the tea at our house...hehehe.
