Well hope you a had nice time, that sounds amazing. I can't imagine what marshmallow on top of sweet potatoes would taste like, but it sounds good to me. :D
ReplyDeleteNothing special like this, for us in the UK, not until Christmas.
Luigi - You could do a "Thanksgiving" dinner party for your friends. It could be fun... You can get all kinds of tradtional Thanksgiving recipes on Food Network's website... As far as the mashmallow - not sure when people started doing it, but it's been around for as long as I can remember! The mashmallows get all toasty in the oven. The BF and I went to a UK themed pub Saturday night for beer and food... Got fish n' chips with malt vinigar. :)
ReplyDeleteAlicia - I wouldn't mind moving, haha. The pictures you blog of the area (scenery, crafty festivals) make it look like a pretty aweso location. I'm not sure what I'm making for Christmas dinner yet... A standing rib roast could be cool though.
