I got a real heart thump today, when I went grocery shopping, thinking about the food and family and friends who will come to our house to eat, watch football, nap and then start it all over again. THEN we have another 3 days off to putz around and be silly together - eating leftovers, watching football, and napping :sneaky:

I didn't see it LC

- all I saw was the X-mass stuff. I'm in and out of Fg every few days so some threads get shifted down and out and I didn't do the research.

Sweet potatoes for the first time EVER???????? I have 2 recipes for great Thanksgiving sweet potatoes.

Baked with orange juice and brown sugar

Mashed with butter and marshmallows baked on top

Its my duty to show up Thanksgiving with enough whipped sweet potatos for 35 people. I made the mistake of offering one yr and its been my task ever since. Next time you eat a steak instead of a baked potato try sweet w/butter and just a sprinkling of brown sugar...yummy !

Buttercup,

There is nothing better than sweet potatoes baked in brown sugar, pinapples with a little pinapple juice for the baking, raisins.. and marshmallows on top.. let it bubble and brown the marshmallows and yummy you have left over for days..
