Well, because i had so many ooooh's and requests over the sweet potato recipe from the last post, here is the link. I made them for thanksgiving and my advice is to omit the sugar in the coconut mixture............they were a bit too sweet. I would also cook them faster at a higher temp. to get a little crispness.
Thanksgiving was rad, open bar, karaoke, pool, and delicious food? Yeah, perfect. I did have to step in and save the day a bit.............my mom has gotten frazzled in her age. She used to be able to save things until the last minute and then magically pull it all together, not anymore. I spent the day throwing together 2 sides, all of the pies, and helping her get everything else together. It was delicious.
I am participating in a cookie exchange and a craft exchange for the holidays!! I love making stuff, so it will be fun.
I am officially depressed, even if it is mildy. We get bills in the mail everyday and the only ones i can afford are rent, the credit ones that will fuck my credit, and food. It kills me to not be able to pay my cable, gas, and car insurance on time. I just took a $550 draw from work to put Cam in School........great, another bill. At least now i can work full time. Those bills will just have to wait. What is my plan for the holidays you ask? Well, i am making 2 gallons of homemade Kahlua for family gifts. For everyone else? Mervyns os going out of buisiness and i have a mervyns card...........that's what they get, shit i can find at mervyns for cheap. And guess what? They HAVE to like it, cause there are no returns. HA! So, in summary, i bburst into tears about once every two days........fuck. It will get better, i just wish it would speed up!!!
On a happy financial note, my dad has started training me to become an estimator for him. That means i get 8% of anything i sell. The breakdown is 60-100K per year. Too bad i can't make that right now.
