I'm exhausted. First time on the computer all day, and only to do a quick check to see that the system all works. (In addition to preparing for the holiday I've been rearranging furniture around the house. I redid part of my office last night.)

Turkey came out a bit dry--it cooked faster than my timer alloted, and I was so busy I didn't check it early enough. Everything else came out great. I do a sweet potato recipe that comes from my old Fanny Farmer cookbook (called Mashed Sweet Potatoes de Luxe), and it is so fast, but tastes great. Uses the boiled then mashed sweet potatoes, some orange juice, what it calls "a few grains" but I do more like a big "dash" of nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon, a half-cup or so of shopped pecans, and little marshmallows on top, baked till they're brown. Since the marshmallows are really not much sugar, (they melt down to almost nothing) there is very little extra sugar in this dish. I like it much better than the "candied" variety of sweet potatoes or yams.
