Morning Friends…so did you survive Black Friday!!! I sure did…didn’t leave the house and had a second Thanksgiving! Hope all of you that ventured out there had a great time and found many treasures!
One little piece of advice that I want to share this morning…Make sure to read LABELS…this never happened to me before…EVER…I made this gorgeous Sweet Potato Pie…roasted the potatoes…made my own puree…a cream custard base folded in with yummy spices into a beautiful hand made crust! My first…I am a Jersey girl and have always made pumpkin! It came out beautiful! Then I noticed that I had not put all the spices away…I found cumin on the counter and said…what did I make with cumin…you guessed it…grabbed the cumin (seeing C) instead of the cinnamon…note to self and to all CUMIN DOES NOT work! lol!!!!
(no picture was provided because what I did to that pie was not nice : )
