Jenny has posted her Sweet Potato Casserole recipe.  Enjoy!  This is a completely fantastic thing, as long as you don’t screw up and boil the sweet potatoes like I did the first time I tried to make it.

Thanksgiving feasts 1 through 3 are now complete.  A friend here decided it would be awesome to throw a pre-thanksgiving celebration party, such that we could get together and cook up a storm without any of the family politics and ritual involved in the more traditional Thanksgiving gatherings that will happen later this week.  It was fantastic, and I think we’ll be making this an annual thing from now on.  For those keeping track at home, the feasts so far have been:

1. The big show last Saturday.  Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pecan pie, sweet potato casserole, gravy (obviously), and dates stuffed with blue cheese wrapped in bacon.  All home-made, of course.  Twelve people.
2. Leftovers the day after, for “breakfast”.  Two people.
3. More leftovers the day after that, in the form of awesome turkey+stuffing+extras meatloaf.  Two people.

… and there’s still a veritable mountain of turkey and stuffing left after all that.  I think we might have cooked too much.  But it’s awesome.

BTW, I moved the previously-posted recipe links around into a wiki-like format, and added some new ones.

• All the recipes I’ve posted (bookmark this, new ones will show up there)
• newly posted: Grandma Jackson’s Pecan Pie (recipe courtesy Jenny’s grandmother. It’s so good that even the cat wants it)
• newly posted: Grandma Jackson’s Pumpkin Pie

I’ll be posting some more recipes soon, starting with that sweet potato casserole that everybody loved so much.  These are all Jenny’s creations of course, so she gets full credit for their success.
