Sweet potato... ooops

[malada]

There's a Thanksgiving dish that's made with sweet potatoes, apple slices, and spiced with a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon. It's usually topped with marshmallows and baked in the oven.

Well, we ran out of marshmallows. That's okay - we'll just slather it with gravy later.

But I was in a bit of a rush... sweet potato's mashed, apple slices mashed... where's the cinnamon? Ah, there's that tall bottle with the big C on it - I'll just carefully sprinkle some in.

Ah...that doesn't smell right.

I turn the bottle to properly look at the label.

Cumin.

I scrapped what I could off, found the cinnamon (and added extra), added more brown sugar and then added another apple, put it in the oven and hoped for the best.

Well.....

Cumin is pretty powerful. It was... interesting.

I usually make it a point of eating my mistakes so I don't repeat them. It's edible if you mix enough gravy and stuffing on it.

At least the chicken, corn and stuffing came out okay.

Oopsie! Glad the rest of Thanksgiving was at least salvagable.
