They taste "just right"! <br /><br />My family loved thanksgiving, and I bet they want it to be a new tradition for us. We'll see how much I feel like cooking next time it rolls around - chances are pretty good I'll do a repeat. Maybe minus the sweet potato/marshmallow thing though! It was fine, but.. well, mostly for the novelty of it. I'll have to do string beans in mushroom soup though - got a recipe for that? It sounds surprisingly good!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224478760304481724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-1102259009228079432004-12-05T16:03:00.000+01:002004-12-05T16:03:00.000+01:00Hey Anne!

I love that you made the sweet potato and marshmallow thing for your feast. My family never made that but it is a typical Thanksgiving comfort food. Just like the string bean caserole made with mushroom soup. Tacky but delish.<br /><br />What did your family think about celebrating Thanksgiving?Amylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909681875953723338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-1101802678324521842004-11-30T09:17:00.000+01:002004-11-30T09:17:00.000+01:00Thanks Rick, it's so much fun to see that someone ...Thanks Rick, it's so much fun to see that someone actually reads what I write! :) The meal turned out just fine, I'm writing a full post on it soon! It was indeed less of a hassle than I thought it would be, but it of course took quite some planning. We didn't end up with tons of leftovers, but we have enough to make a turkey pot pie tonight. Mmm!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224478760304481724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-1101499792425488352004-11-26T21:09:00.000+01:002004-11-26T21:09:00.000+01:00Bravo, Anne.

There is no one "right" way to celebrate Thanksgiving, every region and family seems to have their own traditions. You may have inadvertly started your own.<br />(P.S. I've enjoyed reading your blog since you posted a comment in Chocolate and Zuccini announcing you've started your own)<br />Rick - in CaliforniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
