And even colder today

I woke up to the house being 52 degrees. Dang! And 27 degrees outside. What did I ever do to deserve this? I like heat, doesn't the universe know that?

Well, anyway....I'm off to do a big food shopping. My bit for the economy. I'm doing more cooking than usual this year...2 family dinners on Thursday for which I'm taking 2 things per family. And my own dinner on Friday. I just found an amazing smashed sweet potato recipe from a great food blog: 101 cookbooks. Here's a link to the recipe. Hint: it has macadamia nuts and coconut milk in it!

And, Marie, if you're reading this, I'm making that great salad you found the recipe for. Oranges, mint, lettuce, etc. I'm supposed to take a "large" green salad to sister-in-law's house but didn't want to take one that was too busy. Then I remembered yours and how much we liked it.
