Chiken Pot, Chicken Pot, Chick-en Pot Pieeeeeeee

Ok this post has nothing to do with Chicken pot, but it does have to do with pie. I was still thinking about david Cross (read below first) and thats his famous line from his cameo on Just Shoot Me. That episode reminds me of my brother Jon, I think its all a big scam. Anyways today I baked a sweet potato pie. I got the recipe from the show Good Eats on the food network. For a guy that hates eating, I sure do like to watch the food network! Why sweet potato pie? well since I work at Lone Star, I have acess to an over abundant supplie of sweet potatos, pluss, it looked good on TV.

Let me just say, baking is over rated and it cost more for the supplies, than it would have to buy a premade pie from the local store. The sweet potatos were free, but pie crust, walnuts, eggs, plain yogurt, spices, and canned whip cream cost me over 15 bucks! Should have just bough the pumpkin pies they were selling at the front of the store, practicly taste the same.

Some how my pie making went horibly arie! We didn't have a steamer basket for the sweet potatos, so I messed thoes up, and I made too much so it threw the recipe off. Just a note about sweet potatos, 1 & 1/2 lbs of sweet potatos, is like 1 sweet potato, not three. Live and learn. Oh ya, and the steamer I used was a colinder inside a pot that was too small for the colinder, so some of my cubed sweet potato chunks weren't cooked all the way, and the SP's I got weren't very sweet, but thats Lone Star for ya. Oh and the recipe called for browned/roasted walnuts, and I burned those in the pan tryng to roast them.

Since I had so much extra batter from the over use of sweet potatos I made two pies, both equally bad. I think I fead the first one to my mom, and bring the other one to work, and be like here everyone, this is sweet potato pie, its just as bad as eating regular sweet potatos.

Now I dont think, if cooked properly, that the pie would be bad at all. It got five stars (that reminds me, I want to due a a blog on how I hate star rating systems)! so don't be discouraged from making your own . I think Ill trie it again, might as well considering I have all the ingredients now. I'll leave the link below, for thoes of you who want to give it a go
