ThatLightInYourEyes Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The bell for the pumpkin pie went off here, so the turkey's next. After that is the sweet potato casserole, a Southern family favorite made with pecans, bourbon and marshmallows. The house smells good enough to restore gratitude in even my most cynical of impulses. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me they taste like a crossover between carrots and potatoes. I like them a lot :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Grownup Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'm not going to rain on anyones parade here, but someone I know tried making a complete thanksgiving feast, and she said that most of it was too sweet and not balanced. She did however follow some recipes but maybe something went wrong? Is thanksgiving food mostly sweet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
