Hi Dave,
DD> I dunno who your carrier is - but all of the ones I have experience
DD> with will work with you .... not least bercause they want to keep your
DD> business.
RH> We've been going with Google Fi for the past about 5 years; they work
RH> well for us after having issues with all the major carriers.
DD> I'm back with AT&T. I had their DSL service at the tin can. But when I
DD> came here to a "real" house they were'nt available so I was forced to
DD> choose between $cumca$t cable and a sattelite arrangement. Haveing
DD> been in the sattelite business I know all about "rain-outs" so I
DD> sucked it
DD> up and went with a cable guys. But, just as soon as AT&T fiver became
DD> availble I told Conca$t to stick their "service" where the sun never
DD> shines. I'm happy with AT&T.
We had AT&T for a while but gave it up after some problems. I've one
good thing to say about them--after Hurricane (tropical storm) Irene
went thru the Catskill Mountains in 2011, ATT&T set up a temporary
tower, then converted it to a permanent one in the area where my parents
lived. Before that, we had hit or miss cell service up there, now it's
reliable.

RH> Yes, and like all butters, it's easy to do, just takes a long cooking
RH> time to get it thickened without burning. Years (decades) ago when we

RH> I'd never seen a recipe, just had the idea that it would work--and it

DD> WOW! There are new things I've never heard of. Sweet Potato Butter.
DD> Imagine that. Here's another new-to-me sweet tater recipe. I may try
DD> this as a
DD> waffle recipe when I make it. Vc)=
It was a "Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder..........." idea to use up some of the
sweet potatoes we had. Steve had bought a bushel full and I don't like
them. (I'd bake 2--one for him, one to split between the girls, and an
Irish potato for me.) I canned a lot, saved a good number for baking and
still had a lot left so, after thinking about it........sweet potato
butter.
