Wherein Roger proves to me that he is, in fact, the male counterpart to Betty Crocker.

Roger prepared his own lunch this morning. This consisted of pulling one sweet potato out of a grocery bag and setting it on the counter next to his keys and wallet.
"Babe. Is that ALL you're taking to work? And do you realize that it's not even cooked?"
"What do you mean is this all I'm taking? It'll be plenty. And I can cook it in the microwave."
"Roger. These things are SO hard to cook. They take like twice the amount of time as a regular potato. You're going to have it in the microwave for half an hour!"
"No I won't. You just poke holes all over it and zap it."
"Whatever. Your mama zaps it."
After lunch today, I received this email from Roger, complete with all caps:

STEP 1: Stab raw yam many times all over with metal fork or sharp knife. (This is important so that it doesn't explode.)
STEP 2: Place raw yam in microwave and cook on high for 7 minutes.
STEP 3: Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until yam is soft to the touch.
STEP 4: Slice yam lengthwise and let cool for 30 seconds.
STEP 5: If you are not counting calories, apply butter, brown sugar and craisins to enhance taste.
STEP 6: Using a spoon, scoop delectably moist and tender yam out of skin one bite at a time.
(And to think, my wifey didn't think I knew what I was doing...oh, WAS SHE WRONG!)
