Sweet Potato versus Pumpkin Pie - Inquiring Minds Want to Know
Lest it ever be said that I criticized a pie without trying it, I made it a point to make a pumpkin pie the day after Thanksgiving.
Naturally, I'm not crazy enough to try and replace my family's sweet potato pie on the actual holiday. That could have disastrous consequences.
However, after all the hype about Patti Labelle's Sweet Potato Pie (which, I haven't tried since there are none to be found at any Walmart) a whole lot of new folks have been introduced to a black family staple, Sweet Potato Pie.
I remember when my daughter was young and they would have "potlucks" at school during the fall or winter, I would make it my business to send her to school with a sweet potato pie. I'll never forget one British's dad's reaction, "I do believe I like it better than pumpkin!"
But the diversity door swings both ways, so I can finally say that I've made a pumpkin pie. And I can honestly say, it's not bad. Not sure that I'll be making another one anytime soon. But, I did give it the old college try.
I think it's an acquired taste. I'm sticking with sweet potato.

Is "Olivia Pope" The "Woman at the Well" or the Woman we wish we were? Scandal Musings
Shonda Rhimes is a bad sister. A phenomenal writer with the intelligence to surround herself with other phenomenal writers to create a show that keeps us coming back for more.
Say what you want about Olivia Pope. She's the baddest chick in DC right now.
I must admit until last night's episode, I wasn't sure "Scandal" could continue to hold my interest.
Spoiler Alert!
When it seemed that Olivia (Kerry Washington) was going to move into the White House with Fitz after he kicked Mellie to the curb, I thought, "This is completely unrealistic."
But then when Cyrus (Oh, how I love thee) stirred the pot and forced Mellie to step up and sucker-punch Fitz, I thought, "Oh, hell yes!"
And while I don't condemn or condone the idea of married men or women cheating, you have to admit Olivia Pope is a force to be reckoned with. She's that sistah you find yourself hoping your daughter will grow up to become. In the words of Carl Carlton, "She's a Bad Mama Jamma!"
We have all been "Poped" and we're loving every sixty minutes (sans commercials) of it.
Thursday nights will never be the same.
