Yes, that is my anatomy book. What of it?

My Notes:
Okay, a bit of back story on this one. November was my first time eating a sweet potato, when I went to my dad's house and had my stepmom's sweet potato casserole. And then in January, I had a soup that featured sweet potato, and I've been trying to hunt down a recipe for it ever since. Today was one of those crazy recipe snooping days, mostly because I'm avoiding studying. So, I sought out that soup.
I didn't find it, but in the process, I came across a recipe for spicy sweet potato fries. While I was at my Habitat for Humanity trip last month, we went to a pub and I had a craving for sweet potato fries, and got them, and have basically been craving them ever since cause they were so good. But those were definitely sweet, complete with brown sugar sprinkled on them, and I wasn't in the mood for something that sweet (I know, shocker). So I decided to make these instead.
I didn't have cayenne pepper, but my lovely roommate is Indian and has a huge thing of red chili powder, which is super spicy, so I definitely did not use as much as the recipe might've called for had I been using a more mild powder. But these were so good. I served with ranch dressing, so that made it dairy, but the fries themselves are pareve. Yay for me breaking out of my dairy confines!
