Something is shakin, and it's not just Clem thinking about his tab.

Thanks Giving let's a guy experiment with different ways of dressing up vegetables and of late "Yams" have been getting a lot of attention. A real misunderstood veggy this friendly little gem can be whipped up in many astounding ways. So you need to impress that certain someone and your looking for a non traditional twist on what most consider a boring, over looked lumpy thing at the grocery store, here is a simple 15 minute recipe from yours truly to help.

Monty's Maple Mash Yams

Start with a Yam that is approximatly 2 lbs.

1) Cut and peel your Yam into 2" cubes, drop them into a pot of boiling water.
2) Have a beer
3) Once the Yam cubes are soft enough to pierce with a fork, take off burner (or engine block) and drain water.
4) Have another beer
5)Mash thoroughly adding about 1/2 to 1 oz of Canadian Maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon. (if your real adventurous you could add a sniff of nutmeg)

This serves two to twenty people, depending on how much you like Yams.
