yams

i was assigned yams for thanksgiving.
i hate yams.
therefore, i have never made yams.

a few people i consulted with about said yams advised to get the canned version, dump them in a baking dish, cover with marshmallows and bake.

i couldn't do it.

i made them entirely from scratch; sans the marshmallows.

i cooked the yams in orange and pineapple juice. mashed them. mixed in all of the goodies and then made the topping. i'll have to bake them tomorrow at my dad's or i'm afraid they'll taste like ass.

on a side note, it would take an american to make a root vegetable as unhealthy as the yams in my 'frig are right now. same goes for green bean casserole with mushroom soup.
