Looks yummy. And that is a huge complement, considering how much
Thanksgiving dinner and left overs I've been through the last few days. I
love your mashed potato bowl. I always make a huge pot of mashed potatoes
for Thanksgiving. It's the main reason we even have Thanksgiving. And I
end up having to either get up and refill the bowl a bunch of times or
serving them in a big mixing bowl that is hard to pass around the table.

Real honest to God mashed potatoes just like my Momma used to make are the
best. Especially if I can con someone else into peeling the potatoes.

Next best are potato cakes that are really only good made with real left
over potatoes. I usually mix an egg and some Bisquick and some chopped
onions into the left over potatoes and shape them into cakes and fry them.
I like them firm enough to be finger food, though we do have sour cream with
them.

Yep, they originated in New Orleans and were called merletons, but the rest
of the US calls them chayote squash.

Now don't y'all wish you'd had the time to stop over for a bit when you
visited Tom's parents??! ;

Actually, chayotes originate in Mexico. They were cultivated by the
mexica (mistakenly called aztecs) in precolumbian times.
My parents grow two different varieties back home. They are awesome!

I sure do! Mary didn't cook a turkey this year, she opted for a beef
tenderloin, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and stuffed tomatoes. It was
good, but I did miss the traditional thanksgiving turkey.

My main reason for having Thanksgiving is the turkey sandwiches from the
leftovers. This year, for the first time, my daughter cooked Thanksgiving
dinner. After dinner, she cut the turkey off the bone, and her husband
wrapped it in foil and put it in the freezer. When I got ready to live, she
gave me a package to bring home. We were both surprised it had frozen so
quickly.

The next day, I got the bread all ready for the turkey, then opened the
package. It was lasagna! :-( She told me it was pumpkin lasagna, and I
haven't gotten the nerve to try it yet, although I think I will this
evening.

Victor you every just roast them up add a little salt and pepper smother
them in butter when the fruit is young and tender yum! They did that on
the cruise ship for us did some stuffed with cheese what a unique taste

Sorry, I mis-typed, I meant the name "merleton" originated in New Orleans.

Well, I missed seeing you and Tom. If you guys are in town over Christmas,
be sure to stop by and see us!

Yikes. Don't think I could wrap my mind around pumpkin lasagna when I was
all set for a Turkey sandwich.

That's why I quit freezing in foil. I love zip lock bags.
