Did you know that Oct. 16th is “Boss’ Day”?  Me neither.  At our office we have about 20-something staff members and 4 dentists.  So when the staff got four of us a personal gift each, I was just blown away!!  And guess what they got me?  A set of beautiful mixing bowls and from William-Sonoma, a spatula that was…are you ready for this?  engraved: Dr.Min-The Baking Dentist.  Love, your WDC family WHAT??  How awesome is that?

The MOST thoughtful gift ever!

And I actually got to use it for the TWD this week.

So this week’s TWD assignment was Sweet Potato Biscuits (Page 26) chosen by Erin of Prudence Pennywise.

I couldn’t find canned sweet potato and ended up using yam.  I have a feeling that this might have affected the result…but my biscuits came out very very cushy and soft.  I was expecting a more flaky biscuit.  I do know yams have a higher moisture content.  Should I have baked it for a bit longer?

Puffing up in the oven

They felt more like bread than biscuit…but the flavor was definitely perfect for a late autumn afternoon.
