The usual roast turkey (brined), caramelized shallot mashed potatoes, sage and onion stuffing, roasted asparagus with lemon and olive oil, some kind of sweet potato dish someone is bringing, rolls, apple and cranberry galettes and pumpkin pies. New this year are recipes I'm trying for cranberry sauce and a shallot sherry gravy. I made the cranberry sauce tonight -- delicious! |

the marshmallows go on the sweet potatoes Jane. There are a host of recipes that due to the lack of interesting ingredients available at the local grocer's, span generations with mediocrity. marshmallows.. also appearing in the jello desserts |

ditto. can't imagine why anyone would want to add gooey sweetness to a savoury dish, esp. something that's already sweet, like sweet potatoes. makes my teeth hurt to even think about. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Amen, bach. Nouveau gives real Beaujolais, which is delicious, a bad name. Never had the pear eau du vie. Sounds delicious. Not a big fan of grappa. |
