Thank you, you limey tea-drinker.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm going to introduce thanksgiving to my fellow german co-worker while I work here in Germany, apparently, they don't celebrate thanksgiving in Germany.

Blasphemy.
I can share some of my family's recipes here if you wish. My grandmother's cranberry salad and her sweet potato casserole are amazing.
((I cooked both of those plus pecan pie, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole for our dinner))
Merry turkey ascension day, hope you and every one are doing OK.
Im thankful for the creativity of people that have brought happiness and smiles to this world.
May your hearths be warm and your bellies full.

Lutefisk? one of the few Nord foods I would try. Just keep that salty candy away from me. (swede friend sent me a bunch of it once. Gave it away on halloween. )

Oh yes, please! Because of work schedule, I am going to have another thanksgiving for the people that missed the first one, this Tuesday. So it would be perfect to try out some new recipes too.

Sweet Potato Casserole
3 1/2 to 4 cups sweet potatoes, mashed
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 Tablespoons buttermilk or milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
For the topping:
1/3 cup flour
1 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, packed
INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees. Grease a casserole dish (about 2½ quart size)
Combine the sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, vanilla, 2 tablespoons of buttermilk or milk and melted butter in a medium bowl using an electric mixer or by hand. Add additional buttermilk if needed (you will use between 2-4 tablespoons)
Pour into your casserole dish.
Bake at for 25-30 minutes. (Or if you want to make this dish ahead of time, cover and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Take it out and bake uncovered.)
While it is baking, make the topping. Combine the flour, pecans, butter and brown sugar in a small bowl. When the casserole is done baking remove from oven and sprinkle topping over the top. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. You want a lightly browned, crunchy top.

Thank you so much, I will definitely try some out of these out. I will probably take some picture too for you

Your grandmother was a champion. Those recipes look delightful.

My grandmother would feed anyone who came to her door. Thanksgiving looked like she had invited half the people on our street, and one year despite all our protesting she cooked the entire meal on a broken leg at the age of 88. Doctors said she had the body of a 40 year old. She's where I learned to cook.

Ah, that'd be nice. I just hope you like them.
