Then expected me to make a pie. I was up for the challenge. Here is the before picture. The butter was a bit chunky...(probably because it was frozen and not quite thawed ha ha ha)
This is the after picture. I have to admit I have never eaten a sweet potato. I have had yams but no sweet potato. I was scared of them. As I was cooking them they smelled an awful lot like regular potatoes. I am not a fan of potatoes, but this delicious pie was great. It was very much like a pumpkin pie. I really liked it.
It looks a little burnt but it is not I assure you.
My next adventure was to make gingerbread houses. This is mine. I started off with Necco wafers for the roof but ran out and had to use starlight mints for the other side of the roof...I am not very good at this.
I love that I have junk in the background of all my pictures. I feel like a slob. I tell myself I am not and I believe myself but pictures tend to show the truth.
Well all in all the weekend went alright.
