What are these two types of sweet potatoes called in English?

In Korea, the sweetpotato on the left is 호박고구마(pumpkin sweet potato) and the one on the right is 밤고구마(chestnut sweet potato).
They're different in texture, taste, moisture, etc.

I'm curious if there're these two types of sweet potatoes in western countries too, and if there are, can you guys tell me what they're called in English?

Personally, I prefer 밤고구마(right) to 호박고구마(left)! Which one do you guys like?

90's cup of "natural" black bean soup (just add water)

I grew up on the east coast of the US. In the 90's, my mother used to buy a dehydrated cup of black bean soup where you would add boiling water. It was very salty and thick, and had a purple or dark blue cup art, very in the 90's "health food" store vibe. Here is a drawing, it might not have had a moon on it, but I remember the design as being "earth mother"-ish.

Raw filipino food?

Hello! I just came across this image in a filipino food group I'm in and have no idea what this may be! Best finding I have is something called "Buwa Buwa" but I believe that's just the dish name and not the sea creatures these are. But very perplexed and would love to know what this is!

What's this salad sauce made of? At a sushi place

I ate this salad at an all-you-can-eat sushi place in Portugal (best day of my life btw). What could this sauce be made of? It was rather sweet.

What kind of muffin is this? What’s in it?

I bought a muffin from a cafeteria, they change up flavours so the price sign just says muffin, idk what kind it is, or what’s in it.
It’s smells spiced but I don’t know with what, it has gooey spots that I initially thought raisins but after taking a bite I don’t think so. Any ideas?

Coworkers cake

We’re doing a baking completion at work and my coworker has brought in this cake twice now. He calls it “wafer cake” and says that it’s Puerto Rican but won’t give us any other info. It’s tastes amazing and we’re all obsessed with it, but I have no idea what it is or what’s in there. There’s definitely walnuts and chocolate chips, and it reminds me of banana bread. It might just be that haha but curios what others think

ISO oatmeal recipe from Alicia Silverstone’s cookbook

My mom gifted me Alicia Silverstone’s vegan cookbook a decade ago. I think it was called “The Kind Diet.” I gave it away several years ago while downsizing. Now she’s asking me to make a particular oatmeal recipe from it at a family gathering this weekend. Can’t remember what it was called but I believe it had dates in it, and maybe walnuts? Can anyone help?? I don’t want to hurt her feelings by telling her I re-gifted the book. If all else fails I’ll make up a recipe and hope it’s close enough, but it would be nice to get it right.

16.5M, 45 kg / 99 lbs at 174 cm / 5’8.5” — looking for advice

Hey everyone,
I’m 16.5 years old and I’ve been skinny for pretty much my whole life. I recently decided that I want to make a serious change, so I joined the gym about 2–3 weeks ago.
I’m currently around **45 kg (99 lbs) at 174 cm (5’8.5”)**, which I know is quite light. About 5 months ago I was around 41 kg, so I’ve already gained roughly 4 kg, and I want to keep making progress in a healthy way.
I’ve already seen a doctor and was given some medication, so I’m also trying to take this seriously from a health perspective.
I have some basic knowledge about calories, protein, sleep, progressive overload, etc., so I’m mainly looking for advice **beyond the usual “eat more protein and calories” advice.**
What are some things you wish you knew when you were starting out skinny and trying to build muscle/weight?
A few things I’m particularly wondering about:
What mistakes should I avoid as a beginner?
How should I approach training while I’m still quite light?
Are there any habits that made a big difference for you?
How long did it take before you started noticing a real difference?
Is there anything I should prioritize besides calories and protein?
I usually get around **8–8.5 hours of sleep**. Is there anything else I should focus on for recovery?
I’m also wondering about height. I was around **172 cm about 4 months ago and I’m now around 174 cm**. At 16.5, is it realistic that I could still grow taller?
Can being very skinny or not eating enough affect growth during the teenage years?
I’m basically trying to make a big positive change in my life, so I’d really appreciate advice from people who have been through something similar.
Thanks!
