A trip to Bahrain at the end of the Gulf War was one of her assignments. Those characters were the secret police assigned to keep their eye on her. Fascinating place, the Middle East. Click for more on Robin's years in television.

Sweet Potato Casserole from the 1950s


I saw this in a small advertiser last year and had a real success with it on New Year's Eve. Since you know I'm challenged in the kitchen that must mean this is a cinch. Why not give it a try?

Ingredients:
6 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1/3 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter

Directions:
Boil sweet potatoes for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until tender. Let cool; peel and mash. Combine sweet potatoes, vanilla, sugar, eggs, milk and 1/2 cup butter and beat until smooth. Spoon into a lightly greased 12 x 8 x 2 baking dish.

Combine brown sugar, pecans, flour and 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle over caserole. Bake at 350F degrees for 30 minutes. This is a great side dish for the holidays!
