Sweet Potato Stew

It's been a crazy February weather-wise. Just a week and a half ago we were dealing with near blizzard conditions and over two feet of snow, and in the past three days we have set record-high temperatures in the mid to high sixties. Today, temperatures have dropped down closer to normal, with highs in the upper thirties. In any event, it is still winter and this sweet potato stew is perfect for a February day.

What a difference
two weeks makes
