Thanks to reader "Corayvonne" for this chuckle:
A farmer was driving along the road with a load of fertilizer. A
little boy playing in front of his house saw him and called, "What've
you got in your truck?"
"Fertilizer," the farmer replied.
"What are you going to do with it?" asked the little boy.
"Put it on strawberries," answered the farmer.
"You ought to live here," the little boy advised him. "We put sugar
and cream on ours."

The term "hash" usually refers to a dish of finely diced meat (most
often beef) that is cooked with potatoes and sometimes other
vegetables. I think that you will find this vegetarian version every
bit as satisfying.
Sweet Potato Hash
2 Tbs (30 ml) olive oil
2 cups (500 ml) diced, peeled sweet potatoes
2 cups (500 ml) diced, unpeeled potatoes
1 medium onion, diced
2 bell peppers (capsicum), seeded and diced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp (5 ml) dried rosemary
1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried thyme
1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried tarragon
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste (optional)
Poached or fried eggs (optional)
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the
vegetables, herbs, salt, pepper, and optional cayenne and cook covered
for 5 minutes. Remove the cover and cook an additional 10 to 15
minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and
lightly browned. Serve topped with poached or fried eggs if desired.
Serves 4 to 6.
