Searching for Tradition
Ok, you didn’t think I could top those search terms from the other day, did you? But, lo and behold, the other night I came home and checked my sitemeter only to find the search phrase “fat hairy butt pictures” in my reference links. Does anyone actually WANT to see fat hairy butt pictures? Really, I sincerely hope not, but I suspect there’s a kink for every soul out there, and some unfortunate person found himself staring at a frou-frou red rose instead of a picture of a fat hairy butt. So, fat hairy butt picture searching guy, sorry.
To my normal, non-hairy-butt-picture-looking readers, I have a request of you: I am hosting Thanksgiving at my house for the first time ever this year and I want it to be nice (despite the fact that at least half my guests will be eating off a folding card table and/or patio furniture). What’s your special Thanksgiving extra thing? Is it a recipe passed down for generations? A traditional game of Scrabble after dinner? An appetizer that you always have to have? A craft? Share please. I want ideas for making a tradition of my own.
And since I’m asking you to give, I’ll give too. I’m giving you my mom’s recipe for sweet potato casserole. It’s really delicious, I promise:
Serves: 6
2 17oz cans sweet potatoes, drained & mashed (OR 4 large sweet potatoes cooked, skinned, and mashed)
1/4 C. margarine (or butter), melted
1/4 C. orange juice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
15 big marshmallows
Mix everything except the marshmallows. Place in 1-quart casserole. Top with marshmallows. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Et voila.
