Favorite Thanksgiving side dishes

We have the exact same thing, except I was the only one who would ever eat more than a spoonful or two, so the fam switched to Lime Jell-o instead of pistacio pudding, yech. I recently convinced them to switch back, since not many more people went for the crappy version.

 

I'm disappointed that sweet potato is not on that list.

 

My grandma's sweet per-taters! Ain't nothing better!

 

Actually, I'm not much into traditional Thanksgiving type foods. (Not even the sweet potatoes, though I will eat the marshmallows off the top.)

One thing that was OK was the salad type thing we called "that" because nobody knew the real name for it. I believe it has - sour cream or something white?, marshmallows, mandarin oranges, coconut, and pineapple. "That" is pretty good.

Usually, growing up, I only ate a little of the usual stuff and then had slices of about three different desserts. It helps to have a big family gathering and serve it buffet-style.

I did notice that the women spent all day in the kitchen making the food while the men sat around talking and watching the game. I didn't think that was fair. Still don't; never did turn into one of those cooking homebody types. Guess I should go turn in my woman card. Usually we go to a place like Golden Corral or Barnhill's on T-Day these days. Saves everybody the trouble and you still get the food.

 

"That" sounds like ambrosia (the "salad" not the food of the gods).

 

Can I come to your house on thanksgiving????
