If you make the topping with just the flour, the butter, the brown sugar and the pecans, it forms sort of a crust over the top of the sweet potato mixture.

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. {Henry Wadsworth Longfellow}
Well, since I have to work, Wed. night I am making two pies, the stuffing, mashed potatoes, cleaning my silver, cleaning the turkey, etc.
In the meantime, I suggested to H that he take the kids out to eat as the kitchen will be closed to those wanting to eat!
