But really, what would we do without responsibility?? I'd be lost, I actually need a strict routine to keep me out of trouble! hahaha

What would we do without responsibility? ENJOY OURSELVES TREMENDOUSLY! Hahaha! I'm just kidding. I know what you're saying and I, too, need to work to keep me sane. I've often though that I'd love to be a stay at home Mom. But you know what?!? I think that job is harder than the job I travel to everyday! So maybe I'll just stick with working til time to retire. (Or something like that.)

Bonnie · 11-19-2011, 08:21 PM

We have to pay those bills so its a must! lol
But I'm hoping to get some good pics tomorrow of the Vette and Camaro, washed and vaccumed it to perfection so I'm hoping for a good day, we work hard so why not enjoy our prizes!

I saw my financial dude last week. I should be ok (within reason).

I beat a guy in a Mustang today at the drag strip.

I think I wounded his fragile ego. LOL Actually, he beat me once & I beat him once. Several of us had been gathering to chat between races, but after I beat him, he didn't return to chat anymore.

Here is a link to the thread about it with pics & video:

Double Slap .... beat by Camaro AND a Woman!!! You go Girl!!

I love the looks on some guys faces when you beat them at the track. I think I remember reading that women actually have a better reaction time compared to men, so I love heads-up racing.

It's my Friday! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, I'm spending mine getting everything ready for Thanksgiving. Anyone got any favorite family recipe's to share? My specialty is habanero cranberry sauce. I just follow the recipe on the cranberry bag and then add in nutmeg and habanero powder to taste. It is awesome if you like spicy/sweet with your bird!
To make the habanero powder I dice several habanero peppers very finely (wearing rubber gloves), set the oven on low and dry those babies out. Then I grind them up in an old coffee grinder til they are a powder. It does not take much of this powder to really heat things up!

Ladybugsmom · 11-20-2011, 12:10 PM

I'm shopping and starting the prep today. Adding some heat to cranberry sauce sounds good, but my family would probably not like it. For my cranberry sauce, I add chopped up satsuma oranges and walnuts.
I also love making my apple-cranberry pie. Just take your favorite apple pie recipe, and add a big handful of fresh cranberries to the filling - it's really yummy!!!

Happy Friday to You heRS!!

Since you asked, here is a Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe from the wife of a guy I worked with over 20 years ago. They brought it to a holiday pot luck and I've been hooked ever since.

This recipe can easily double as a filling for Sweet Potato pie. Enjoy!

Sweet Potato Casserole

From the Kitchen of the Wife of Bill R., a former co-worker

3 c mashed sweet potatoes (these are just as good if you use canned or freshly cooked)
1 c white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 c milk
1 can of coconut (can be omitted)
¾ stick butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract

Streusel Topping:
1 c packed brown sugar
½ c all purpose flour
1 stick of butter or margarine, hard (freeze if necessary)

1 c raw, shelled pecans

Heat oven to 350

Drain the sweet potatos and discard the liquid.

In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes and add sugar, beaten eggs, milk, coconut, butter and vanilla. Beat by hand or with a mixer until thoroughly blended. Small lumps are OK.

Set aside.

In a separate bowl, using a pastry cutter or table knives, “cut” the brown sugar, flour and butter together until it resembles a coarse meal.

Pour the Sweet Potato mixture in a baking dish*. Sprinkle the Streusel topping over the dish and top with pecans.

In the oven, place a baking sheet under the dish as it easily bubbles over. Bake in a 350 oven for 40-45 minutes.

* Optionally, load the filling (and top with the streusel topping and pecans) into pie shells for Sweet Potato Pie, a great departure from the usual store-bought Pumpkin Pie. Adjust baking time until a knife inserted in the middle of the pie comes out clean. Best served warm.

Now it's Thanksgiving.
