Sister’s Delicious Candied Yams | Notecook


Honey, tomorrow is Thanksgiving and it’s time to load the table down with turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, cranberries and all the fancy dishes for the family. Folks will be coming out of the woodwork for all the good eats. I’m so thankful that Sister is the one with the magic touch when it comes to making tasty food. Everybody knows I can’t cook so they don’t bother me. Sometimes I get right sorry for Sister with all that jim jammin going in her kitchen. Why, she hardly gets to sit down for days. I do help her a right smart so I don’t feel too guilty when I’m settin at her table. (Don’t be shocked, this is only another Sister piece of writing.) Her Candied yams are just as good as I say, no joke about that. Sister really exists and gets a laugh out of these sister stories. She enjoys a bit of fun as well as the next one.

f you are like me, you are always looking to make the perfect pie crust, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I like my pie crusts nice and flaky and tender enough to melt in your mouth. I have tried first one recipe and another and improvised occasionally. The following recipe is my all time favorite and it never fails. Just be sure your butter is thoroughly chilled and don’t skimp on the resting time. It’s perfect for fruit or cream pies and it always holds up. Be sure to butter your pie pan well if you’re making fruit pies so it doesn’t stick to the pan.

Chances are the first thing that happens in your doctor’s office is the nurse wraps a blood pressure cuff around your arm. It’s a simple test with no pain involved but it’s a very important test. As blood runs through your arteries, it places pressure on the artery walls. If the pressure is too high, the arteries will stretch and tear. The scar tissue then forms a substance called plaque, leading to blockages. If it isn’t kept under tight control, you will be at risk for heart attack, stroke, heart attack and kidney failure.
