Hi all of you, how you doing? Well, today I am gonna share on how to eat another food source. Yes, it is a sweet potato. Do you like it? I would like to share my story about the sweet potato in my life. My father taught me that we can eat another food source. Many years ago, we had a hard life, and it's a long story. Our basic food is rice, but we can substitute with cassava, corn, or even sweet potato. Yes, we had breakfast with fried cassava, sometimes we ate boiled cassava, or sometimes boiled sweet potato. Yes, my father grew cassava, sweet potato in his yards. Even we made cassava snacks or sweet potato snacks. It was a long time ago. I still remember that our neighbors could turn the corn and cassava into very nice basic food. At the time, many villagers were very creative and could survive in any kind of situation. But, I always remember what my father taught me. Nowadays, I do still eat sweet potatoes and even make sweet potato leaf soup. What my message in this article is, during the pandemic or another crisis we can still make a choice and adjust our food, such as buy other foods, another food source. 

So, what we have today? Let's check it out!
