LOL You are right this is a Midwestern thang, usually sold by the church as funraiser. Please pass the hot sauce and several slices of white bread.

Giggles...in my house this is called "Yamellow"

Synclaire, is that you? :p

Yams, raisins, amd marshmallows? WTF?!!? Ugh just plain ol candied yams for me.

Re: Re: Re: In Honor of Thanksgiving. . .
 

It's also a southern thing. When spaghetti is used as a side, you just don't get as much as you would if you were eating it as an entree. It's good, you should try it.

Soror CT4,

Live a little!!! Let your taste buds explore *wink*.

Naw, but we don't use the raisins. Just the yams and marshmallows. You never had sweet potatoe suffle?? That's what it is. Like at Bosten Market. Do you all have one?

Re: Re: Re: Re: In Honor of Thanksgiving. . .
 

Catfish is a southern thing. Southerners also eat spaghetti. But I have yet to see this as a meal that southerners eat. I was born and raised in the South. If this is also a southern thing, then wow. I just learned something new. :eek:

Re: Re: In Honor of Thanksgiving. . .
 

*Dancing*yes yes yes and some homemade rolls :D

I'm still stuck on the catfish and spaghetti thing. Now I've heard of catfish and grits (amazed at that too) but wowsers @ spaghetti as a side item. Is it traditional spaghetti?? Like sauce, BEEF and noodles?

bump

thanksgiving is always African, but somebody always, ALWAYS brings pecan and or sweet potato pie... I'll mos def pass on that...

:eek: :eek: :eek: A travesty!:D

can't do the chitlins... i tried them when i first was able to sit at the grown folks table.... and I am good for a lifetime on that... of course I have to pass on anything that I am allergic to... but replace bouron for the raisins in the yams, and you got some good eats!

Collard Greens that ya folks put they foot in it, mac and cheese sooooo good you dream about it in your turkey induced sleep and then eat for breakfast cold, turkey fried up so good and moist you think it is fried chicken, skillet cornbread with melted butter, stuffing that was not cooked in the unsanitary orafice of a turkey.

Whew... I am gonna have to work out extra Thursday night...

As long as I get some good peach cobbler I'm good. That's my favorite dessert.

NO HAM.

I'm no longer doing pork but Honey Baked Hams used to be my WEAKNESS

Ya'll have got to be kidding about the mac n' cheese though...its not the holidays without the mac n' cheese!!

I second that. Don't do pig intestines. :p

Is that what chitlins is? *feeling sick*

Fa real, tho'. MY mama's mac & cheese will make you want to slap YOUR mama :D

I could do without the stuffing though...

MEAT!

Especially in dishes that are traditionally vegetarian. :mad:

And please NO blue box mac & cheese! I want some REAL mac & cheese...four different cheeses, a little pepper, two sticks of butter...not that powdered isht.

I know I'ma lose my Black pass for this, but

SWEET POTATO PIE.

Dangit, I want PUMPKIN pie!!

(with plenty of Cool Whip) :)

I don't want any chiterlings or pumpkin pie

I don't like sweet potato nor pumpkin pie. Please stick to pecan and cherry pies. :)

Fried Turkey
Dressing
Mac and Cheese
Mixed Greens (Collard, mustard and turnip) with smoked Turkey leg
Mashed taters and gravy
Homemade cranberry sauce
Sweet tater pie

lawdy I feel like a nap just thinkin about dinner

AMEN!!!! If you tell me that the mac and cheese is gonna be ready in a minute, and you just started making it.... I will not eat your stuff!!! And tell ya to ya face to do it over! I want some gooey M&C... pour milk in the dish, beat an egg... make it fluffy! *salivates*

...I feel you playa. Throw some vanilla ice cream atop that molten delicacy and it's ooooon!

My answer: My pop's new gold-diggin girlfriend. I don't have my tuition paid for next semester because of this heffa. I would say more but I don't want to air any dirty laundry. ALL them utensils better be plastic!!! :mad:

:( I sure wish you would tell the whole story.

I don't know. I'm a glutton, I love everything. scratch that. Instead of turkey, I'd rather have cornish hen.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope my uncle's girlfriend don't bring that sad pan of brownies! Surely she has got to know that we don't get down like that. Last year was her first thanksgiving with us and she should have felt really bad when she put them dry, Sahara desert looking things on the table with homemade chocolate cakes, and pies. If you're not gonna do it right just do like I do and bring sodas!

I love Thanksgiving! :D I just put the sweet potatoes and wild rice dressing in the oven. I made sweet potato pie, pecan pie, blackberry cobbler, pound cake, cornbread muffins and yeast rolls yesterday. I also smoked a turkey. Today I'm making oyster dressing, cornbread dressing, greens, green beans, creamed onions, fruit salad, candied sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, and "chitlins" (yes, we always have them for the old folks).

My husband is in charge of frying the turkey, so I have it all seasoned and ready to go. I know it seems like a lot, but we have about 20 people coming over. I can't wait too see everyone (can you tell that I'm excited?)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

ETA: I didn't really stick with the original post. sorry!

Give me the directions to your house and I'll be there ASAP! FOR REAL! :D

Happy Thanksgiving Day!!!!

I've already put on five pounds since yesterday. I did my cooking yesterday: Cornish hens, cornbread dressing, mac & cheese, sweet potatoes, potato salad, collard greens and cabbage, rolls, cornbread, apple pie, and devil eggs. Today, I will be at moms house stuffing myself. That will be another five pounds :(

I realize the holiday is over, but XMAS is right around the corner.

I was so hoping that Friend A had dinner at her house ant not Friend B - dinner was at Friend B

Was so hoping Friend B had it catered or asked folks to bring food - Friend B cooked

Was so hoping Friend B did not make that nasty but oyster dressing - Yep, you guessed right!!!

So hoping I order Picaddilly in time for my own Xmas dinner :o
