I only had one person say they didnt like it. I didnt care too much for the nut crust but considering Im trying to go gluten free, it was better than the flour alternative. I think next time I will add some honey just to give the crust the sweetness folks said it needed. I should post the recipe but I must admit, I didnt come up with the recipe. I got it from a href=http://wellnessmama.com/3351/pumpkin-cheesecake/ target=_selfWellness Mama/a. All I did was substitute the pumpkin with the purple sweet potato. brbrI got seven mini cheesecakes from this recipe with enough batter left over to make an eighth mini pie but ran out of the nut crust. Had I use less crusts for the other pies, I would have had enough crust for the eighth pie.  /p</p>

I think the prices went up. I went there again today, after grocery shopping. I needed to buy the ingredients for the purple sweet potato cheesecake I plan on making with the last of the sweet potatoes. I really like In N Out burgers. They arent the largest or fanciest burgers but they are fresh. I dont have to worry about mystery ingredients. brbrIm going to try a nut crust for this cheesecake. I hope it turns out okay. brbrIf it doesnt taste good, I wont be making it again. The batter was good though. I cant wait to dig into one of my little purple cheesecakes.   /p</p>

I need to cook up those purple sweet potatoes before they go bad. I went to two different stores to try to find coconut milk. brbrIn the meantime, Im enjoying Star Trek: The Next Generation on Netflix. All 177 episodes. It will take me a while to get through them. A whole year to watch seven seasons. And I thought the series ran longer. /p</p>

Ive been trying to get through this book for the last six months but havent been able to. Its a good book but I keep trying to do the exercises at the end of the chapters and reread the first chapter three times a week and thats whats been keeping from from getting through it. brbrIm hoping to get another chapter in before I go to bed. I want to finish this book this weekend. So I can start another book. /p</p>

It is a very difficult book to understand and can be grossly misinterpreted. brbrI got depressed meditating on Ecclesiastes. It turns out, Solomon wasnt thinking with a mind focused on God. He had a worldly view of the world because his focused had shifted (from God) so much because of his wealth, wisdom, and wives. brbrI cant wait until the last sermon next week. brbrI must get my other Bible studies our of the way before going to bed. /p</p>

Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:8-10 ESV)brbrThese Bible verses are from the day 1 topic study on dating and relationships. When I watch tv, I get the impression that sex is something that is a social norm for couples to do outside of marriage. brbrCouples living together seems like the norm but I know different. It is only to be done in the context of marriage. brbrI really wish I had been taught these things growing up. My would be a lot different. But my parents, in particular, my mom cant teach me something she hasnt done herself. brbrI go every year to my mothers church for Mothers Day. Last year, a guest speaker got up and started talking about how things were done when she was a child. (This woman had to be in her 70s.) she mentioned how women didnt have children without husbands. Then she apologized for comment and couldnt understand why as sex outside of marriage is a sin and we were in a church. Not understanding why anyone would see the need to apologize for a comment about sin in a church but it happened. brbrI guess that is why my mom and I attend different churches. /p</p>

I already tried making mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes are not my favorite and the beautiful purple color of these potatoes havent changed my opinion. I still dont like mashed potatoes. brbrI didnt like the way the potatoes were packed. And some of the potatoes were broken a bit but thats what I get for $22 for 12 pounds. I would have preferred them to be packed in a sturdier box. brbrThe potatoes are a lot smaller than I expected. When I did additional research online, I found that the purple sweet potato ranges in size from fingerling to about 1 pound. Anything larger than 1 pound will be very fibrous. Im not fond of stringy potatoes. brbrIm still absolutely adoring the color and cant wait yo make a cheesecake or sweet potato pie with these little darling purple spuds. Im really enjoying cooking. /p</p>

You can buy these burgers in the frozen food section. I must warn you, they will make you fart. /p</p>

It was weird. We were in my aunts (her mothers condo). Now, my aunt doesnt own a condo. My cousin was still sick and laying in a bed. She woke up and she asked Where am I? and I responded We are in your moms condo. Then I told her had been sick for the last three years and she asked me Where is Mama? Mama is what she called our grandmother. I told her grandma had died in 2005 and said Dont you remember? You helped take care of her.   Then my cousin got out of the bed and walked out of the room. brbrToday was her memorial service. Im not sure why I had this dream but I did. I dont recall ever dreaming about my cousin. brbrI also had a dream about a guy I took an interest in a few years ago. It also took place in my aunts condo. I cant remember if it was before or after the dream with my cousin. Anyways, it was a pleasant encounter with him. We took a tour of the city and had a good time. brbrI miss his friendship. I havent spoken to him in over two years. brbrI just wanted to get this off my mind. /p</p>
