<b style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Total Time: 50 Minutes Serves 4</i></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Stuffed tomatoes are a delicious choice for a quick supper or even a mid-day luncheon. Hull the tomatoes as gently as possible. If you break the skin, they will over-soften while baking and could fall apart. Stir in browned ground beef, sausage, or shredded rotisserie chicken for extra heartiness. In order to quickly make this recipe, Mamie suggest using store-bought pesto. If you happen to have a surplus of basil in your herb garden, however, try this easy recipe for homemade basil pesto. Serve these tasty stuffed tomatoes alongside a salad or steamed green beans for a light vegetarian dinner. Or try them as a side dish with grilled seafood, steak, or chicken. They also make a great potluck dish for summer cookouts.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>8 (6-oz.) tomatoes </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>2 tablespoons salted butter </i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>1/2 cup refrigerated pesto (such as Buitoni), divided</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i> 1 1/2 ounces pecorino Romano cheese, shaved (about 3/4 cup )</i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i> 1 Preheat oven to 350°F, with oven rack 6 to 9 inches from top. Cut about 1/2 inch off tops of tomatoes; discard tops. Cut a small (1/8-inch) slice off bottoms of tomatoes so they will sit flat in baking dish. Carefully scoop out tomato pulp, using a serrated tomato corer or melon baller, leaving a 1/2-inch shell intact. Sprinkle shells with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Place pulp in a wire-mesh strainer over a bowl; press to remove 1/3 cup tomato juice. Reserve juice; discard pulp.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i> 2 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 4 minutes.

Stir in basil, 1/3 cup of the pesto, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Divide mixture evenly among tomato shells. Place shells in an 11- x 7-inch baking dish.</i></b></span><br />

Hello Knights,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's cold up here... about 20 degrees below freezing. We re snug in our house, keeping warm and trying to clean up after more renovation. I have no climate change story today, so I will give you a tour of the downstairs of my house. I thought Wandering Brook was a more appropriate place to put it. You will see it is a bit messy but clean and cozy. We have crammed a lot of stuff into fewer rooms because we have turned the upstairs into a separate apartment.</div>

This painting is in my 'hidey-hole'. It is Indonesian and about two hundred years old. It was given to me by the man I married before Brian. I think he said it was a wedding. I wouldn't have those people at my wedding. But I love it for it's antiquity and out of respect for the artist who is long gone.<br />

This is an old painting by a well known American Artist who lives in the south. Most of his paintings, I believe are of things in the Florida Keys... lots of boats and water. His name is Russ Smiley. I think it was painted in the early fifties and was so abused and discolored, you could hardly tell what it was. The paint was cracked with parts missing.I am restoring it. I love to restore old art. I have had to paint most of it over and guess at some of the colors. I still have more to do.<br />

I love this old antique sideboard. Someone kept it highly polished for a century or so. You touch history when you touch where all those loving hands touched. It's not crooked like in the picture. <br />
Uncle Brian's crystal balls are here too. At least I own the two Antique plates.<br />

This is one of the ugly tapestries I told your mama about. My Aunt Rose makes them. I have two. They don't look good no matter where you hang them. Maybe it's the peach colored sky. Nana would come down from heaven and bonk me on the head if I dared to get rid of them. Maybe I can hang them in my closet.</div>

My daughter Jaye had my dogs' pictures put on canvas. Maxy was always smiling, Moochy always looked sad. Black Scruffy lived to be eighteen and could say 'hello' and 'go out'. But Chucky was the smartest dog I ever saw. You could say, "Bring me my slippers, newspaper and an apple", and he would.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><em> </em></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>*<strong>Line two cookie sheets with parchment. Set aside</strong>.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em> </em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>*In a medium size saucepan cook the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and milk over medium-low heat until all the sugar dissolves. If it's got a nice bubble going this should take about 3 to 5 minutes, or so. Keep stirring but not obsessively, it just needs a light stir every 30 seconds or so</em></strong>.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong><span style="font-size: large;">*Once the sugar is dissolved add the butter, don't fret if you didn't soften it. If it's not softened just cut it into small chunks, it'll totally still work. Keep stirring until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.</span></strong></em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>*Now add the vanilla, oats and salt. Stir until combined, then remove from the heat</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong></strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>*Add the coconut, stir again. I know right, it's a lot of stirring.</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong></strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>*Now toss in the milk chocolate chips and the white chocolate chips. Stir again. Stop rolling your eyes at me. Stirring is good. You are now done stirring. Yah. Round of applause.</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong></strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>*Take a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop and drop the cookies onto the cookie sheets. It's okay for them to be lop-sided and not perfect. </strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong></strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>*Allow to cool completely. Good luck with this step. It's impossible not to dig right in.

<b style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Total Time 1 Hour 25 Minutes Serves 12 (serving size: about 1 cup)</i></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Candied yams are a classic Southern side dish, especially when it comes to Thanksgiving. Even though Mama makes the same sweet potato casserole every year, she won’t be offended if you bring these candied yams once she tries them. Lightly spiced and oh-so-sweet, these candied yams will become a mainstay in your Thanksgiving recipe lineup. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla combine with sweet potatoes for the most comforting holiday dish you can serve. One of the best parts about this side dish is that it only has 20 minutes of hands-on time, and you can assemble the dish up to 3 days in advance. Make the recipe through step 3, store it covered in the refrigerator, then bake it Thanksgiving Day. With all the other dishes you have to worry about on Thanksgiving, these candied yams will be a breeze. We recommend serving them straight from the oven while the syrup is still hot.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1⁄2-inch-thick rounds </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>1/2 cup salted butter </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>3/4 cup granulated sugar </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>3/4 cup packed light brown sugar </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>1/4 cup heavy cream </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>1 tablespoon vanilla extract </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>1 teaspoon ground cinnamon </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>1 teaspoon kosher salt</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i> 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg</i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Layer sweet potato slices in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>2 Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium. Add sugars, stirring until well combined. Stir in cream; cook, stirring often, just until mixture comes to a simmer, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.</i></b></span><br />
