A sauce of pecans, oranges and brown sugar seems so predictable though - that's the first thing that popped into my mind. I wonder if there's a savory that I could do....? Isa, put on your thinking cap for me. :)
when I do my sweet potato stuffing for poblanos, I use cardamom, golden raisins, sage sausage, walnuts, red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, cumin, garam masala and top w/cilantro and crumbled monterey jack cheese or mexican springle cheese and serve with a chilled pinot blanc.
you could probably use some of the seasonings mentioned in a little coconut milk to make the sauce and serve with the sausage in the side, and top w/roasted walnuts, cilantro and the cheese. damn, I may be making this soon.
After Mon & Tues, even the calendar says W-T-F!

ooooo.... ediblecomplex, thank you! Gosh, that sounds wonderful.

I could also crumble some bulk sage sausage, fry it off, drain it, and add to the sauce.....

Yeah, this will be made this week. :) I'll let you know how it comes out.

I don't have a ricer though, I read somewhere a fork would do the trick, does anyone have experience with this?

Rachel bought a potato ricer, specifically so she could make gnocchi.

Damn, this was almost exactly what I was going to write.
EC, I gotta tell you, it's getting a little spooky.

Judi, I your last post proves you need taste testers who can handle it.
And I highly doubt it would be too rich for me, so I'm in it for the long haul.
And you wouldn't have so many leftovers!
