Thanksgiving

[MtnBiker]

Is everyone planning for Thanksgiving day? Any special main entrees or side dishes that you would like to share?

Typical stuff here, beyond my cranberry jalapeno relish and hoping my gravy turns out as good as it did last year. My brother thought it was pourable love :D.

Candied Yams (Sweet Potatoes)

Boil sweet potatoes till near tender, with peeling on.

let cool and peel and cut in to 1-2 inch cubes

butter the bottom of a low side baking dish.

spread the yams in the pan to an even depth.

Cover them with about a cup of light or dark brown sugar. (I prefer the dark brown)

Then spinkle about a cup of walnuts over them.

Take a stick of butter cut in to pieces and sprinkle that over them.

Then grate a full orange peel over them and add 1/2 cup of the orange juice.

Bake for about 45 minutes.

They are the Yummiest!

Some like to sprinkle a half bag of mini marshmellows on top of them too, broiling on top for about 3 minutes, making them brown at the end of the cooking process.

Are you serving yams or sweet potatoes? You called them Sweet taters then yams? Interchanging names on purpose? Did you know the two aren't even distantly related? Only related in how Americans (and others?) name one the other, and vice-versa. :)

[Monkeybone]

i thought that yams were sweet potatoes......you are confusing my simple Red State Brain

I use sweet potatoes, not yams..... because the whole dish is so fattening, the sweet potatoe at least has some nutritional redeeming value!!! the yam does not.

but either can be used.

and NOOOOOOOO, I did not know that they weren't even related?

[Mr. P]

Who cares if they're related or what ya call em...If they taste good go for it!

Corn bread dressing or stuffing.

5-6 cups of cornbread broken up. (Better to make your own in a black iron skillet, bought kind has sugar in it usually and that just doesn't work) 5-6 cups is an 8- 9 inch skillet.

5-6 cups of white bread, dried out and broken up in to pieces

put in to a big bowl, awaiting the rest of the mixture.

In a skillet saute till soft (I usually use a light olive oil, couple of tablespoons)

1 cup of diced celery
1/2 cup of diced onion
1/2 cup of diced green pepper
1 cup of chopped walnuts

Add this mixture to the bread and mix in evenly.

Add

1/2-1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon of Poultry Seasoning
add
2 Beaten eggs
and
1 1/2 cups of turkey broth or chicken broth (I boil the neck and giblets with onion and carrots and celery to make my own broth, but chicken broth out of the can will do)

mix all together well.

Then take 1/2 cup of butter cut in to pieces and add in to the mixture evenly.

Stuff the bird or bake in a deep dish for about an hour.

DELICIOUS! :)

Nope. They are from two different species of plant.

There are no true "yams" commercially marketed in the United States.
Sweet potatoes and yams come from different species of plant in the family of morning glories, originating in separate corners of the world.

[MtnBiker]

I like yams much better.

Which one is a tuber and which one is a root?

[5stringJeff]

The Perfect Thanksgiving Recipe:

1. Drive to the restaurant.

2. Get seated.

3. Have the waitress put the food in front of me.

[Mr. P]

mr symPathy :laugh2:

Nope...it was just a post about a meal.

[LiberalNation]

I don't cook but can't wait for what my mom is planning to whipe up. Of course the usual turkey, stuffing, a sweet potato dish. Then scallop potatos, pies (pumpkin my favorite), lots and lots of side dishes and sweets I can't remember all the names. :)

[Pale Rider]

Since I have such fantastic Casino/Hotels just a couples miles from me, like the Silver Legacy, The Eldorado, The Peppermill or the Grand Sierra Resort, just to name a few, each one of them will put on a Thanksgiving buffet fit for the Gods. I'll probably hit one of those. Eat until I can't take another bite, and then waddle out of there with nothing to clean up. :D

That's what you do when your nearest family is 900 miles away.

[jackass]

Hey I have a big furry 100# mutt that just loves everybody!!!!:cheers2: Its not that bad here!!!!

It wasnt meant as any offense to you!! I just thought he lives much closer to me...thats all! :)

[darin]

That's a pretty awesome invite D. I thank ya kindly. But my son is here now, so I better do something with him.

[Yurt]

Since my wife and I are staying here:

btw -- note to Pale: home is here (tx)

Her famous baked pototoes. With all the stuff, and the canadian stuff, oh yeah, I am believer.......now.

No turkey. It is just us. So I will make her special hamburgers over the grill. And corn on the cob.

Hey, pretty American if you ask me.

Sounds good to me.

I just heard on a local TV station, that the Peppermil is going to have ten different all you can eat buffets, all serving different things on Thanksgiving day. I like the Peppermil, so I'll probably go down there and eat at the buffet serving the most traditional food, then maybe hit the Black Jack table and let my meal settle... :D
