Happy Turkey Day!

Mmm I am full of yummy food.
Had dinner tonight with Tyler, Psyfe, Alan, and Tyler’s friend (whose name I forget because I am bad with names). So much good food…

So I was kinda stupid. I planned to make candied yams. I found a recipe online, and it called for 6 large yams… it didn’t occur to me to think how many people said recipe would feed… so I bought 5.75 pounds of yams from Geagle (they were 6 *very* large yams). Set out this morning to make the yams… and found that I filled the pot after 2 and a half, so I made the candied yams and still had 3.5 yams left.
Looked up a recipe for mashed yams with marshmallows, and made that as well, using up another 2.5 yams.
So yeah, I had a huge casserole dish full of candied yams, another filled with mashed yams, and another whole yam. Sooo many yams.
I looked it up afterward, and it turns out 2.5 pounds of yams can feed 10 people. I made about 5 pounds of yams for 5 people. Oops.

Besides the massive amounts of yams, Tyler had made baked cornish hens, a huge casserole dish of stuffing, salad with apples and pine nuts, bread, and garlic redskin mashed potatoes. His friend brought cranberry sauce. Psyfe brought pies.
I am full and happy now. So much food :D



Yay for not having to spend Thanksgiving alone (and thank you, Tyler!)

Also certain people make me very happy and make me feel loved and are just generally awesome.
*feels incredibly lucky*
I have at least one thing to be thankful for this year… and it’s definetly a big one.

Haven’t done any homework in the past 2 days. Maybe I should do some tonight.


Nah.

Blar, I’m going to have nightmares about yams tonight. Candied yams, mashed yams, baked yams, yams with honey, sliced yams, cubed yams, crushed yams, whole yams, raw yams by the pound, mounds and mounds of yams ahhhhh!
*runs away and hides*
