I laughed hard at a couple of the commenters’ coming-out stories, like the guy whose cousin or whoever outed him at the dinner table and he said “I was planning that for Mother’s Day–now I’ll have to get her a gift!”

Or the two brothers and a sister (?) who all came-out to their parents at the same time and called it something like ‘getting the group-rate.’

@Benedick: Since we have 3 lbs of them, I'm sure we'll find other ways to eat them (recipe/prep suggestions appreciated), but just the thought of white potatoes with praline topping was enough to turn my stomach. Gots to have the orange with the brown pecans.

@Mistress Cynica: White sweet potatoes are the best and usually hard to find. I reckon they're a great treat.

@SanFranLefty: Potbelly recently switched from Utz to Zapp's, but they only carry a handful of flavors. I'll probably be in NOLA with a rental car before too long, so a trip to the factory may be in store.

@Capt Howdy: Any good online sources for tasso ham? We need it to make real jambalaya, but no one in the PNW has ever heard of it. Amazingly, we found a good andouille sausage at the local organic market. Then again, they also sold us white sweet potatoes. WTF?? I didn't even know such a thing existed. And apparently they're dry, flaky, and not even sweet. Not gonna work in the Mississippi praline-topped sweet potato dish. Have to make another grocery store run today for real, orange ones.

One of my favorite Thanksgiving memories is watching “Goodfellas” while Mrs RML put the holiday meal together. She cooks three times a year – Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter – and it’s always awesome. My jobs include carving the meat or bird, opening wine and otherwise staying the hell out of the kitchen.

All of our orphans have moved or started families, so it’s pretty much the RMLs, her mom and strays this TG. I cannot believe the fucking Bronco game is outside at night in Denver on Thursday. WTF? They should have scheduled Dallas then.
