Need "Funky" veggies

[MostlyWater]

what about reservations at a restaurant?

who says thanksgiving has to be turkey anyway? the settlers most probably ate fish and squash, which were easy for them to get.

I made a mashed sweet potato casserole with bourbon and pecans once that had the plain janes running for the hills....
But I liked it.
More for me!

Maybe I'll invite YOU then next time.....
I was eating it for a week!!!!!
:)
Here it is if you'd like.... but I swear the recipe included toasted pecans....
oh well.. maybe I invented it. It was over 5 years ago.

tradationhere is thanksgiving dinner at my house. it is boring for me as they always want the same old stuff. no challenge for the cook. last year i did make the sweet potatoe cassorle i found. they loved it. i do make what they want and just make one more "funky" vegatable. last year bacon and parm. cheese brussel sprouts. dil loved them so much i made again for her bday dinner . tradation is a hard thing to buck babesorry spell check is not working.

i don't think so. not if i am the one cooking. does your family eat leftovers, babetoo ?

[babetoo]

yes they certainly do. i usually send care packages home with them. so they can have that turkey sandwich at midnight.

Well, AAB, you, or someone else, has already mentioned the "funky" ones I would have added to the list. It's hard to imagine asparagus being on the "funky list" I'd say the funkiest one mentioned is the edamame - - not because it IS funky - just funky at Thanksgiving! LOL And make sure you get the kind IN the shells - that should send him screaming into the night!

OR - you could just have tacos that night!
