The Obligatory Thanksgiving Recap

My Thanksgiving was gloriously chaotic, filled with way too many people in way too tight a space, and the babies...oh, the babies were all over the place. It was wonderful. I mean, if you like babies, and family in tight quarters, and sweating your ass off because did I mention 35 people in 400 square feet of space? But still, so good!

I made a sweet potato casserole with a brown sugar and pecan crusted top. I used white sweet potatos instead of the orange ones I used last year. As I made the casserole, my husband commented that it looked good. Once he tasted it, he told me it taseted like potato cake batter. And it did.

I informed him it was the same recipe as last year.

"you remember last year's right? I spent two hours making it and you didn't even try it!"

"this is the same as last year?"

"Yes, I figured you had a mental thing with the fact that the sweet potatos were orange, so this year I tried white."

"I like the taste of the white better."

"they taste the same, you like the COLOR of the white better."


Does anyone else have a husband that won't eat vegetables unless they are disguised as dessert?

mmmmmm....Just as I suspected. Sometimes I know him so well, I scare even myself!

    ok - but where's the recipe?

    And am I the only one who's never heard of a white sweet potato?

  2. I've never heard of white sweet potatoes, either, but they sound DELICIOUS! Where's that recipe? :)

  3. Ok, from watching the Food Network -- if I learned this right, the white ones are actually yams and tast a lot more like a regular potato. The orange ones that most people cook at Thanksgiving and call yams are actually sweet potatoes and have much more of a sweet, squash-like quality.

    Either way, topped with pecans and brown sugar SOUNDS AWESOME!

  6. Rather the reverse here: I'll eat orange mashed potatoes, but not white. I like the color, that's my excuse!
