Ghost Poem for you to replicate & recipe to share!

Since some of you requested the poem that was left on our doorstep, I'm copying it for you.

The very top of the page is titled: "The Phantom was Here!"

Written inside of a cute ghost it says:

The "Halloween Phantom" has come to town.
To Leave you some goodies I see you've found.

Pass on the phantom next family night.

And watch it spread until Halloween night.

Take 3 treats and notes down the street.
To friends and neighbors who will feast.

Don't let them see you inyour work of surprise.

Leave it with those who've not been phantomized.

Happy Halloween!
We hope you have a great holiday season.

(Don't forget to hang this note on your door or window

So the phantom will know you have already been visited.)

There you have the poem and I also wanted to publish this recipe my cousin left under one of my comments. I have to say that I normally avoid sweet potatoes, you know, don't even take a polite sample, but this recipe changed my mind. Do it for Thanksgiving!!!
