Another Good Meal: Sweet Potatoes & Crab Meat.

Since we have a plethora of sweet potatoes, I decided to make a sweet potato casserole.
I peeled and sliced the potatoes, peeled and sliced an apple, and added a can of sliced pineapple with its juice.
Honey gets drizzled over top.
Some brown sugar and cinnamon.
Raisins.
I decided to add in some of the cherry cider Mr. Hawthorne got at the Amish store in Yanceyville.
I baked it, covered, in a 350-degree oven for about an hour. Meanwhile, I prepared the crab meat rangoon.
I have freshly picked crab meat, minced celery, minced red onion. Softened cream cheese goes in and you barely mix. You want your crab meat chunky.
Put a plop of crab meat mixture on a wonton wrapper or egg roll wrapper, brush water around the edges.
Then seal.
Heat the oil and stick the end of a wooden spoon in. When bubbles bubble out vigorously, the oil is ready.
Don't crowd the rangoons.
Fry until nicely browned.
Drain.
Sweet potato casserole with crab rangoon served with wasabi sauce and duck sauce. Mr. Hawthorne said these crab rangoons were the best he's ever had. Duh. They had real crab meat in them.
