November Food Topic: THANKSGIVING!

Yes, it is a time to be thankful and spend time with family and friends, but what makes it even more awesome is all the great food that surrounds us while doing so!

Whether you participate in the holiday or not, tell us:
1) What your favorite Thanksgiving (or Fall) dish and why?
2) How about your least favorite and why?

1) My favorite? You want me to pick a favorite? Fine, I'll be the weird one; I love sweet potato casserole. My mom and I always make our own marshmallow fluff for it and it is coconutty and cinnamon-y and sweet potato-y. Yum. Even my sister likes it and she hates coconut normally.

2) My least favorite is the cranberry mold thing. It can so easily be bitter and strong and the tannins overpowering and puckery. I'm picky :(

Hey, you! :D


I like cranberry relish, made with actual sliced cranberries (maybe a little orange zest), not that canned jellied mold stuff that quivers when you poke it. o.0

Followed you here lol. I'm bored.

Even homemade I can barely stand cranberries! They have to be just right otherwise they give me the worst hangover.

Maybe you're allergic to them, if you're having a reaction? To the acids or something.

[majoline]

Maybe? I figured it was something about the tannins since all I get is a headache.

I am not a big fan of either one of those items, but my mother and sister swear by the canned cranberry stuff!

[majoline]

I do sometimes! It just depends.

I'm a big fan, but it's about my only sweet potato dish and making the fluff yourself gives you a lot more control on sweetness.

I also love the sweet potato casserole. <3
