Feast

"Well, how was your feast for Thanksgiving, Uncle Mike?" asks Zachary after finding a ROTARY phone and learning how to dial up his uncle. "Our feast was delicious, even with 3 desserts!" Delicious, indeed. I am so grateful -- for two good boys and their dad and a great extended family and a good meal and blessings too many to count.

Here's the sweet potato recipe for Connie and Pam (or anyone else who wants it!):

18 ounces sweet potatoes, canned (I prefer fresh sweet potatoes, baked and mashed)
1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 stick butter
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 pinches fresh nutmeg, grated
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup chopped pecans


Mix 1st 10 ingredients. Pour into buttered 9x13 pan.
Mix remaining ingredients and sprinkle over potatoes.
Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes, uncovered.

If doubling the recipe, don't double the topping.

Happy feasting to all!
