Thanksgiving
Cometh
By Mona Lease
Greetings, Gals!! So - everyone keep up the exercises - breathing and
relaxation for sure. We seem to have hit an "epidemic" of hurt and
pain. We have the holidays coming - Thanksgiving is a mere 24 days away
- as I write this. Enjoy the following!! "I've learned a lot this
year...I've learned that things don't always turn out the way you
planned, or the way you think they should. And I've learned that there
are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed or get put back
together the way they were before. I've learned that some broken things
stay broken and I've learned that you can get through bad times and
keep looking for better ones as long as you have people who love you."

"I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things
not meant for me." - Wild Woman Sisterhood
"Courage is looking fear in the eye and saying, "Get out of my way,
I've got things to do." - Peace, Love and Everything Else
"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only
remembers to turn on the light." - Albus Dumbledore
"Do your little bit of good where you are. It's those little bits of
good put together that overwhelm the world." - Desmond Tutu
"The day you decide that you are more interested in being aware of your
thoughts than you are in the thoughts themselves - that is the day you
will find your way out." - Michael Singer
"The problem with the world is that intelligent people are full of
doubts, while the stupid people are full of confidence." - Charles
Bukowski
"If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you
are fooling yourself. That's like expecting the lion not to eat you
because you didn't eat him." - Halos and Horns Fun Page
"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts."
- Marcus Aurelius
Melting Sweet Potatos
3# Sweet Potatos, roughly equally sized
3T melted butter or melted extra virgin
coconut oil
3T garlic extra virgin olive oil
1 1/4 t kosher salt
1t ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced or
chopped
1 1/4 cups vegetable broth
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. (2)Peel sweet potatos and cut into 1"
thick rounds. Arrange on a half sheet pan with space between the slices
to allow air to circulate. Drizzle the potatos with the butter (or
coconut oil and the garlic extra virgin olive oil). Sprinkle the salt
and pepper over the tops of the potatos. Use your hands to flip
the potatos and slide them around in the oils, making sure they are
completely coated. (3)Roast the sweet potatos for 15 minutes, or until
the undersides of the slices have carmelized to a beautiful deep brown.
Carefully flip the sweet potato slices and return to the pan to the
oven for another 15 minutes. (4)Flip the sweet potato slices once again
and scatter the chopped or sliced garlic over the sweet potatos and
pour the vegetable broth over the works. Return the pan to the oven for
another 15 minutes or until the potatos are tender and the broth is
reduced to a thicker consistency. Move them to a serving plate and
drizzle the sauce from the pan over them. HINTS: Do not use glass pans
- they will break at this high temperature. There might be some
slight smoking at this temperature - run an exhaust (or other)
fan. Sliced or chopped garlic works best - pressed garlic will
scorch or burn at this temperature. Bon Apetit!!
"Sometimes all you need is for someone to just be there, even if they
can't solve your problems. Just knowing there is someone who cares can
make all the difference." - sun.gazing.com
The best is yet to be!! MONA
