Love the poem. Thanks.

Got any leftover sweet potato's?

Mash them and put them in a buttered baking dish, cover them with this topping.

1 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup butter, 1 cup chopped pecans, 1/3 cup flour

Mix sugar and flour together, sprinkle over potato's, pour melted butter over it and cover with nuts. Bake 350 for 35 minutes. Yummy.

Sweet potatoes??? People eat that stuff...eeeewwww...

Now for the weather report...

Thanksgiving Weather Report

Thanksgiving rush, we have received an early weather report from our in-house weather reporters.

Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high near 190ºF. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder.

During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce creates slippery spots on the other. Please pass the gravy.

A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway. During the evening, the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34ºF in the refrigerator.

Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50 percent chance of scattered soup late in the day. We expect a warming trend where soup develops. By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will be the bone.

Happy Thanksgiving!

WestCoast Good Moring...My wife just reminded me that the fishermen will be setting their Dungeness Crab pots here n the waters off Humboldt Bay next week, weather and price conditions allowing. There could be an abundance of them bringing the price down a little.

I found our first Porcini (Boletus Edulis)mushroom yesterday. It is a robust young specimen waiting for your instructions.

If it's the day after Thanksgiving, it's turkey enchilada day.
