barely making my deadline

It is 11:48pm and this is the first time I've sat down since 3pm. Thus far I've made:

  • sweet potato pie

  • green bean casserole (have always hated it, will always hate it)

  • dirty rice

  • mirliton casserole

  • candied yams



  • Why did that short list take me that long? I haven't a clue. These people coming tomorrow better recognize my mad skillz.

    sigh, so tired. tiiiiiirrrreeed.

    1. ...or that is my understanding of the pronunciation anyway... however I have a habit of frequently being WAY off and confused so please do correct me.

    2. What is mirliton? It better not be what is pronounced "mel-a-tawn" because my parents make stuff with that and it is freaking NASTY and gushy and gross. Green bean casserole is definitely where it's at. :P

    3. it's "mil-a-tawn" and it's not gross. Green bean casserole is disgusting and foul and the only reason I made it is because jparks asked for it. He apparently has no taste buds and likes that crap.

    6. I had to Google "mirliton casserole" because I've never heard of a "mirliton" before. Turns out it's what I know as a chayote :)

      Happy Thanksgiving!

    7. Apparently Louisiana is the only state to call chayotes mirliton. We are special like that.
