The Shape I'm In.......

.....Round, after today's recipe.

Today's recipe is dedicated to Garth Hudson, a good ol' boy from Arkansas,
who can play two separate solos on two separate clavinettes, both at the same
time.

Sweetpotato Pie.


Bake a pastry case blind. (Note to Philippa: This does not mean shut your
eyes. It means line a flan dish with pastry, fill with baking beads or rice,
partly bake. Remove contents, dry out a little in the oven). Alternately,
buy one ready made. If you can't be bothered, omit the pastry, in which case
the recipe becomes "Sweetpotato Pone."

2 cups mashed sweetpotato (Peel, cube, boil in not too much water 'cos it
goes soggy pretty quickly, drain mash).
2/3 cup sugar (my recipe says 1 1/2. Too sweet!
2 Eggs
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon.

Mix. Fill pastry case. Bake, circa 325F (Gas 4?) until a toothpick inserted
in the middle comes out clean. Cool. Serve. Maybe "a la mode" - i.e. with
a scoop of ice cream.

The South Will Rise Again!
