marilyn and i have a new (slightly growing) obsession.
its called Ube (Ooooo-bay) or Dioscorea alata.
basically- its a purple yam.
and it tastes like pistachios and macadamia nuts.

since i would be hooked up to both of those intravenously if i could, naturally its a pretty good fit.
i've decided im going to make a bunch of ube stuff for my birthday this year.THATS RIGHT. you heard it here first- i am going to cook. ok bake. ok maybe both.i want to try making the soup, and i want an ube & pistachio cheese cake. OMG.OMG MY STOMACH LITERALLY JUST FLIPPED thinking about that. that means i'm in love with ube. 
shit just got real folks. shit just got real.

here's some inspiration for you to fall as deeply in love as we have.<3
