In a month. I am not tired of it, nor am I out of sweet potatoes. Thanks again. @Thuja I’ve now made this recipe I think five times. In a month. I am not tired of it, nor am I out of sweet potatoes.

(I used seasoned ground turkey instead of chorizo because it was what I had on hand; I think it would have been better with the chorizo but it was still DELICIOUS.) A great big thank you for the recommendation from me and my partner! I will be using other recipes in this thread, too, as it only used one pound of my like 4-5 lbs of sweet potatoes I have. @Thuja I made a version of the enchiladas you linked to above and have eaten them for three meals running, now.

I'm hoping it'll only run me $20 or less. Saturday: hanging out with my aunt and uncle decorating their house, then going to a Christmas party. Under $20ish for some kind of food/drink contribution to the party. Sunday: another party so another $20ish on food/drink, grocery shopping $40 (possibly more if you include the food/drink supplies for both parties. Say another $50-100 depending on how serious I get about Christmas shopping (not likely). Total: $100 (or possibly twice that).

Saturday I'm going to a basketball game, but my friend's husband is on the team so I'll get in for free. Dinner after at a fancy hotel, maybe $25. Staying with friends at fancy hotel, $45 my share. Train fare for the day, 1000 yen. Sunday I have an all-day workshop, but will probably need sustenance. 1500 yen for foodstuffs and another 500 yen train fare. I'll probably buy some gifts too so another 3-4000 yen. Something like $150. Staying in Friday, so 0.

Something in the cold weather locks something in the electrical system up and doesn't let the car start (it was explained to me, but I am not a car person and I barely drive.) I'm not trying to be a downer, but I wanted to give you the heads up before you replace everything only to discover it's an electrical problem. @wearitcounts That sounds like what happened to my Alero. :( I got the starter replaced, something in the transmission done, and a few other things totaling up to $3k before I cut my losses and sold it for parts.

Probably $25 (I'll be grabbing dinner there too) but I don't feel too bad because I've had free breakfast AND lunch for the past 3 days (thanks fancy work conferences!!!) and I am one of those horrible people who never ever packs a lunch, so I'm just you know, making up for the money I saved. Saturday I'll probably go grocery shopping ($30? I have a ton of canned veggies, just need stuff to eat them with), and I also need to get some drawers at Target ($30 more). I'm probably going out later that night, so let's guess ... another $30 for that, why not. Sunday I have tentative brunch plans: $15. That adds up to ... $130. I mayyyy trek out to Ikea on Sunday to pick up a wardrobe, which would be another $100, but I'll probably save that for next weekend after I get paid, and/or after all the Black Friday/Cyber Monday stuff I'm returning goes through.
