My family doesn't care for sweet potatoes so on Thanksgiving I bake just a few like a baked potato. I also make them often during the year. I hear you on your lists having lists!!! I wondered what was in your gorgeous sink. I've never had them. Happy Thanksgiving and what a beautiful blessing to be in your new home.

I hope your first Thanksgiving in your new home will be one of your best, ever.

The first time I had them I tasted them for two days after and said never again. I love spinach, so it's not a green thing. I'm sure it was the way they were cooked. I don't like okra either, but I do love grits!

Wit...I am a southern girl and love collard greens! With me being a vegan now, I have to do without the ham hocks. I recently learned that I have brittle bones. A bad thing indeed at my age. Collards have a lot of calcium, so I suspect that I'm about to become an expert at cooking them...once I get back on my feet, that is.

Thanksgiving is that one day to eat everything with dairy in it - milk, cheese, cream... no holding back.
