Post-Thanksgiving

I gobbled some turkey and cranberry sauce, Potatoes – both mashed and marshmallowed, Cooked carrots and string beans, a nice cold beer – To keep my mood stress-free and mellowed. I’m taking a break before pie a la mode And please do not think that I’m boasting, But leftovers from a Thanksgiving meal Are worth all the efforts of hosting!

i'm sure you did, andrea! we had a lot of leftovers because we took the easy way out and ordered most of it already prepared, although i did make a couple of things. hope you were able to take leftovers, too...

hey jan! there is a casserole many people make with cooked or canned sweet potatoes (or yams) mashed up, mixed with some brown sugar, butter, an egg and a little cinnamon and topped with marshmallows. you bake it and then broil it for a minute to brown the marshmallows. it is yummy!
