I had a nice time at my friend's house. I have spent the last few Thanksgivings with her and her family. Dinner was great -- except my sweet potato casserole. I have never made it before; it was from a recipe given to me by my sister and it is usually really yummy. Well the pecan, brown sugar topping was good, but the potatoes were extremely salty. If they had tried them on Top Chef, they would have been spitting them out.

I swear that I followed the recipe, but I obviously put in too much salt or did not write down the directions correctly. I have had it with following recipes. I have screwed up recipes two days in a row. So I am going back to cooking what I know without using any recipes. Or better yet -- ordering out!

Frank, I am sorry to hear that your son is being deployed.

Wiz, Kudos to you for stating that your hubby is going to help you clean the house.

Tomorrow, I plan on grading some papers, making a few bracelets, and going to see the movie australia.

Hope you all have a good day and a good nights sleep. Or are you all still taking your after dinner naps?
