Ok, they are if you count the peeling, but you can do that ahead of time and leave the potatoes in cold water. Boiled and mashed with butter, salt, and whole milk, they're wonderful, so take the extra few minutes to make them. If you want to make them really special, wrap 8-10 cloves of garlic in aluminum foil and throw them into the oven with the turkey for a half hour or so. Then take them out and mash them into the potatoes. Delicious.<BR/><BR/>Second, PBW's fudge is dead easy, and delicious. Highly recommended.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023986850397045322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1164201619372560832006-11-22T08:20:00.000-05:002006-11-22T08:20:00.000-05:00Mmmmm, our thanksgiving was last month, but I'm hu...Mmmmm, our thanksgiving was last month, but I'm hungry all over again!<BR/>For the kids, at my daughter's birthday we did the cupcake thing (went over way cool), but also added stars, butterflies, choc chips and such from the bulk store as decorations.<BR/>Another suggestion for the stuffing is mandarin oranges. The canned ones are fine, as they mix into the blend, so you don't need to peel actual oranges, but just a small amount can give the stuffing some zest.<BR/>Happy Thanksgiving to those in the USA!Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732264471007486923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1164195508541178112006-11-22T06:38:00.000-05:002006-11-22T06:38:00.000-05:00Ooh, dried cranberries or apples in the stuffing? ...Ooh, dried cranberries or apples in the stuffing? yum. And I'll have to give that fudge recipe a shot. <BR/><BR/>I wanted to point out, since I know Holly and a number of other writers out there are prone to migraine, that turkey is loaded with MSG, landing a lot of migraineurs in the hospital right after Thanksgiving. If you are a migraine sufferer and sensitive to MSG, forgo the turkey! My family has been getting on quite well with roast beef for Thanksgiving the past few years. We don't miss it much, and we haven't missed Dad's trips to the ER, either. <BR/><BR/>Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
