Midnight Snacks

It was midnight, and hunger struck me unexpectedly. I searched the kitchen, only to realize there was no cooked food left. For a moment, I felt stuck until I remembered something. I was lucky to have some raw sweet potatoes sitting in the basket. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to make a quick and satisfying snack.

Without wasting time, I grabbed a few sweet potatoes, peeled and washed them quickly. I sliced them into thin pieces and threw them into a hot pan with oil. The sizzling sound and sweet aroma brought back old memories. In just a few minutes, I had a plate full of golden, fried sweet potatoes ready to eat.

The taste was just as I remembered soft on the inside, slightly crispy outside, with a natural sweetness that didn’t need any extra sugar. It was simple, but incredibly comforting. My hunger faded, and I felt warm and full, both in body and heart.

As I sat there eating, I thought of my childhood. Fried or boiled sweet potatoes were a common snack back then. My family would prepare them in the evening, and we’d enjoy them while chatting or watching TV. It’s amazing how food can bring back memories so vividly.

Tonight, what started as a hungry moment turned into a nostalgic experience. Sweet potatoes are more than just a snack they’re a reminder of simpler times. They are filling, healthy, and easy to prepare. I think I’ll keep some on hand more often. Midnight hunger doesn’t stand a chance now!
