sinful sweet potato bread

lately john has been baking like crazy.
i can not bake.
 instructions and precision measurements makes me feel stifled and rebellious.
and rebellion in a field which requires precision usually ends in smoke and anger.
john has the patience for it, and amazing things are suddenly emerging from our oven.
this is one of them...

1  1/2 cups sugar
    1 cup canned sweet potato
    1/2 cup banana
    1/2 cup water
    2 eggs

    1  2/3 cups flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon cloves


Mix dry ingredients, mix wet ingredients, and stir them together. 
                                     
Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350 degrees for 60 (?) minutes.
            (Keep an eye on it, when a toothpick comes out clean, it’s done.)

Let cool for at least 10 minutes and then remove from loaf pan to a plate.
try not to eat the hell out of it with your bare hands.

Serves: 6-10
