I made not one but two sweet potato cassaroles.

I made the one that my daughter, son in law, and I love... covered in a huge layer of pecans, coconut, and brown sugar on top. It is to die for. My daughter has been making it for about 20 years but this year she decided she was doing deviled eggs instead. I was glad to have a break from peeling eggs and making the casseroles was fun.

But my weirdo husband does not eat pecans, or coconut... and my mom and younger granddaughter like the kind with pineapples and marshmallows so I made one of those too. I used marshmallow cream on top instead of mini marshmallows and it looked amazing! I am one of those strange people who think pretty food tastes better.

We ended up with exactly 40 people (according to my husband's math)... 41 if you count the dog who visited with his family... I dare not try to count as they all keep moving and making me lose my count... My quick mental math right now tells me that of those 40... 14 are under the age of 18... which explains why it felt like many more than 40.

I got in the bed around 11 last night. Exhausted. Just got up and started another load of laundry and another load of dishes. Hopefully, me the dishwasher and the washing machine survive the day. I have decided that the day after Thanksgiving for me... instead of Black Friday is Reassembly Day. Trying to put my house back in order after the slightly organized chaos.

On the bright side... I am having pumpkin spice coffee and leftover pumpkin cheese cake for breakfast... so life is GOOD : )
