What day is this?
Actually, I know it's Monday, which is saying something. Something impressive. No, really.
I gave blood today. Unlike the previous time, I didn't feel faint when I sat up, so yay me! The boy and I also made trips to the craft store and the natural foods store -- we didn't buy too terribly much at either store, but I now feel that my holiday shopping for the boy and Mr WG is done. We still have a few things to buy and get done between now and Mr WG's vacation, but I'm less insane than I usually am at this time of year.
Argh! I have to write fic for Secret Slasha! I haven't even started yet, and I have no ideas. Eep.
ETA - I need a recipe for Sweet Potato Casserole. Ideally I'd like one that starts with fresh sweet potatoes, includes brown sugar, and is topped with mini marshmallows. I have never made this before, so I'm hoping someone with experience will share a recipe that's not too difficult to follow and results in much yumminess.

BROWN SUGAR-GLAZED SWEET POTATOES WITH MARSHMALLOWS
4 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams), peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
2/3 cup packed golden brown sugar
5 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground ginger
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange potatoes in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Combine sugar, butter, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour over potatoes; toss to coat. Cover dish tightly with foil.
Bake potatoes 50 minutes. Uncover; bake until potatoes are tender and syrup thickens slightly, basting occasionally, about 20 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 500°F. Top potatoes with marshmallows and nuts. Return to oven; bake until marshmallows begin to melt and nuts begin to brown, about 3 minutes.
Serves 8.
