leftovers!
turkey
basmati rice
Brussels sprouts

bowl of chicken bone broth

my spouse is fed up with turkey and wasn’t able to suggest a carryout / delivery supper option when I asked at 4p. Our child was at the mall in the afternoon so I knew that going out for Sunday night supper wasn’t going to be a smart idea.

wow that’s a very strong endorsement. You’ve grilled chicken breasts for 42 years and counting so I take your superlatives extremely seriously and with high validation. Their website fedexes them frozen and maybe I should get some at $15 a dozen. Which ones did you buy? It’s cheaper than goldbelly essa bagels.
thank you. I’m not going to close the window for their website.

Was lazy tonight... So glutinous chicken and rice dumpling... And some broth to wash it down.

Trader Joe’s Tri-tip

thanksgiving sides:
stuffing
sweet potatoes with newly broiled marshmallows
Mac & cheese

my family liked it a lot so I’ll probably get it once a Fortnite. It’s super easy to grill.

Ok, that's a new one for me. Do you actually mean marshmallows as in "Mr. Staypuft" and the fluffy white stuff or do you mean something else? I don't see how they would work together, but maybe that's me?

Two slices of a medium Pizza Hut supreme lovers pizza and some wakame salad

Washed it down with some thinned out milk tea.

it’s like a sweet potato casserole of mashed sweet potatoes (with some ripe bananas) baked at 350; then top with marshmallows and broil. have you ever had it?

Can't say that I have, but until now, I've never heard of it before. It sounds extremely sweet though. If opportunity presents itself, I might try it.

it is very, very common. Almost everyone has some form of sweet potato dish topped with marshmallows at Thanksgiving.

I wonder why I've never heard of this before... turkey, of course. cranberry sauce, yes. stuffing, always. Sweet potato often. But I don't think anyone has mentioned sweet potato w/ marshmallows to me before (maybe it's an american thing?) I wonder if it's popular here? I know I don't see it in TV commercials (or didn't when I had cable)

We have had sweet potatoes from pancakes, fries, mashed, baked, casseroles and pies but I have never had sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows. I grew up near sweet potato farms.

I live in San Francisco and never considered marshmallows with sweet potatoes until my spouse introduced it to me. It’s possible that I saw it at family holiday gatherings before meeting my spouse. I actually prefer sweet potato baked and then with some butter. What isn’t better with butter?

I first had it as sweet potato pie. Yum.

As heretical as it may sound, I find I much prefer crabs sans butter. Naked or maybe with a small sprinkle of salt... I enjoy the sweetness of the crab meat.

Marshmallows on sweet potatoes has been a thing since 1917. Do you people live in a cave? How do you not see this everywhere? Grocery stores even have marshmallows with all of their Thanksgiving stuff...big displays with cranberries, stuffing, pumpkin etc.

A local place serves baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon butter.

Not that I pay attention to marshmallows and maybe it's because we have our Thanksgiving earlier than yours, but yeah, I think it's only a thing down there. I really don't recall seeing marshmallows in any Thanksgiving displays here (although to be fair, there are a few observances close togther for us in that timeframe).

But like I said, if I come across it, I'm willing to give it a shot (as weird as it sounds to me)
