We baked Yams ,with brown sugar and butter and will brown marshmallows on top tomorrow. Cranberry dish.
A quart of home grown green beans and quart of peas, a phone of cornbread and of course this big 25 lb, barbequed , bone in ham.

And others will have dressing, turkey , hash brown casserole, pies , cakes, and more.

[Patchouli]

@Amish Heart sister, pickles and olives ALWAYS for Thanksgiving dinner.
Turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, dressing balls, cranberry relish. Others are bringing sweet potato something and green beans. Others should have volunteered to bring something but since they didn't and they love pumpkin pie so much, I decided they can make those today. We are tired.

Jim

I agree sometimes I worry about her regreting is badly one day.
Funny one her favorite movies is ' Imitation Of Life' where the girl chases the hurst down the road screaming for her mama. An of course me and words just sarcastically said " why so you can put on the big drama act for atttention at my funeral', wrong answer .
Anyway time will tell if she grows up or not.

The pseudo-DIL is working long shifts at the hospital to take advantage of holiday pay plus overtime so we are delaying the turkey until she can indulge with us.

But The Princess and I have much to be thankful for and will not let day pass without counting our blessings that includes;

2 wonderful g-daughters
First year of retirement
Debt free!
Good progress on LLC #1
LLC #2 renewed lease
Good health and many more.

So she "went into her storehouse" and brought out some prime rib. She also makes an onion casserole that is almost candy. Sides of mushrooms and corn.

God has smiled on us and I pray that he also smile on you and yors!

Sounds like your having a good Thanksgiving Ben. And acinuating the positive too.We should all do that more often.

It was DH and I and we had Cheese Enchiladas and Salad. I don’t have a traditional bone in my body.

Jim

This is the recipe my daughter uses.

Sweet Potato Souffle

3 large sweet potatoes cooked and whipped
1 cup sugar
2 eggs beaten
1/2 tsp salt
1 stick butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 tsp vanilla
1 bag marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Peel and cook potatoes until tender.
Drain and whip potatoes, add sugar, eggs, salt, butter and vanilla.
Mix well and put in greased casserole dish.
Bake in preheated oven at 325 degrees for 25 minutes (or maybe longer if there are other dishes).
Place marshmallows and pecans on top. Return to oven for 5 minutes or until golden brown.

My vegan daughter is coming over for Thanksgiving. Since she is a vegan, she has to carefully pick and choose.
This year, I got a small pumpkin. I will chop the top, scrape out the seeds and pulp, then bake with a bit of olive oil inside and out. After 1 hour, ill pack the bottom with a wild rice, them on top of that, I'll place cooked diced Brussel sprouts, with some roasted sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, lightly roasted. I'll top with pomegranate seeds and baby roasted carrots. I'll put the top back on, and serve it. I am just thinking this out, so vegans, tell me what you think?

Not a vegan, but good for you! My daughter tried to be a vegan for a while, and with her celiac and blood type, she knew she couldn't do it. It takes lots of strength and commitment to live that lifestyle.

 

[phideaux]

Hickory smoked (14 hours)bone in ham.

With all the side dishes and dessert's. Be my favorite lemon icebox pie.
