Yamless

Advice, merely. Beer is brewed from grain (cereal), malt, hops, yeast and water. It is full of starch and carbohydrates. Those who quaff more than a couple a week would find it wise (if their waistlines want worrying) to eliminate certain other sources of these elements from their diets: no morning Kellogg's, yamless meals, a saladal substitute for a sandwich.

If you don't feel like cooking this Thanksgiving, that's no reason to go hamless, yamless and - heaven forbid - Spamless.

I was lucky with this one, as my roommate's girlfriend left me the aforementioned yams. She took care of this step for me. But if you find yourself yamless, get out and fill your home with a small reminder of the holiday.
