Oh I dunno...Might cook a frozen pizza that day.


Here's a recipe for a beautiful and very yummy dish.

Crandberry-Pineapple Gelatin Salad

2 (3-ounce) packages raspberry gelatin
1/2 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple packet in its own juice
1 (15-ounce) can whole cranberry sauce
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts


Topping:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons whipped cream
1/4 cup walnuts

Spray a 4-cup gelatin mold or a 9-inch swuare pan w/ vegi oil cooking spray. In a medium glass mixing bowl, combine the raspberry gelatin and unflavored gelatin. Add 1 cup boiling water and stir with a metal spoon continuously for 2 minutes, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Add the pineapple and juice, cranberry sauce, and walnuts. Stir with a metal spoon until all ingredients are completely incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.

About 1 hour before serving, invert the mold onto a serving platter and allow to sit at room temperature; the salad will release itself and come clean from the mold.

Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, whipped cream and walnuts in bowl. Spoon into the center of the mold.

Candied Yam Souffle

1 stick butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 large (40-ounce) cans large yams or sweet potatoes, drained
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 (12-ounce) jar marshmallow topping

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and pecans. Simmer for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, place drained yams in a large bowl and mash finely with a potato masher (leaving some chunked pieces). Pour sugar/pecan mixture over yams. Stir until combined thoroughly. Add in cinnamon and nutmeg. Transfer to a metal pie pan. Top with marshmallow topping. Bake for 15 minutes at 325 degrees F. Remove from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the top, watching carefully to keep from over-browning.

Serves 8

Thanksgiving is in October here But I'll tell you what we DID do! We had it at my aunt and uncle's house with my three cousins, more aunts and uncles, grandma, and my parents came into town for it. We had ham and roast moose (not traditional, but my uncle hates turkey!) and potatoes and veggies, and for the first time in my life I had yorkshire pudding! Mmmmm now I'm hungry!

We can't eat any of the foods right now and I have to tutor someone that day but I will be logging into 4wt to hear how your holiday is going and to feel part of a community.

Thanks Mandy and Highlans. Even though we don't eat the foods, we do take the time to be grateful for what we have as a family and to be in touch with family members who are too far to see in person. It's really quite nice.

(We're not into the American football games but we get a kick out of our friends who are - big ones on Thanksgiving!)

I think you should still have turkey and stuffing and Sheryl's cranberry sauce.
It's just such a nice dinner!
