sarah, did you get home safe? also, did you try that pecan tart? was it too sweet for you?
im curious if i could use the same sugary base but add a different nut to it and have it taste good as, say, an almond or walnut or cashew tart... is there a nut consistency that making a tart/pie would require? hmm
the sweet potatoes turned out alright. couldve made them less sweet and had them turn out better. the crumbly topping made me consider a sweet potato pie and i found an alton brown recipe. the images i saw looked very similar to a pumpkin pie. i might have to try it it see how it turns out...
justin and i went to the store today (black friday... it was crazy parking wise, but since we went noonish, the stores werent mobbed). we got a fake tree. it was fairly cheap and it doesnt look bad. im also not worried about the cats leaving their little mice in the water filled tree stand. justin had a fake one growing up, so i bent to his tradition. brought it home, put some lights on it. im procrastinating doing anything else with it. i wouldve waited to put it up, but i wanted to see how it looked. the display model at target was up on a platform that was like 4 feet high, so i had no real idea. i'll post pictures when i hang some things on it.
i love you guys lots!

The little pecan tarts were really really good. I gave one to Mike, too, and he agreed. Can I have the recipe?
Almonds have a very distinctive flavor, so I am not sure how that would go. Walnuts are bitter and would be good with the sweet. Cashews would be awesome if you like that sort of thing.

fake tree - so sad. I'm sure it looks fine though. maybe you could do a real tree every other year or something... of course that would require a compromise from justin.
