Hi everyone. Such a busy day today. Let me run through my list of things to make sure I did them all:
Have a photo shoot of me at my house for a magazine feature I will be in , make-up, hair and photography crew getting here at 7:30AM while most kids still asleep-CHECK!
Drop off friend for his vasectomy-CHECK!
Make a big dinner for family and friends (btw, those are two of my lovely sisters in the picture above) for the Jewish New Year tonight: some dips, roast chicken, sweet potato puree with crystallized ginger, salad, apple pie (see cute daughter in video below helping), and honey cake from Hope’s fundraiser from previous post-CHECK!
I know you are all dying to know the details of above so I won’t keep you in suspense….the ingredients for the Sweet Potato puree with Crystallized Ginger are :-):
Sweet Potatoe Puree with Crystallized Ginger:
4 large sweet potatoes, peeled cut into one inch chunks and steamed until tender. Let cool
6 TBS butter separated into 4 and 2 TBS

Such screen talent in your family! And you are creating such an easy, relaxed kitchen upbringing for your kids. And for me too – this past weekend I roasted pumpkin seeds leftover from our pumpkin carving – and I had your little voice in my head, encouraging me to enjoy myself, not look for perfection but for the experience. They came out yummy! Thanks Alma.
