I would also do crushed crisps (potato chips to the Americans) instead of corn flakes. But since I'm not a fan, these deviations need not be followed. Rico - your post made me jealous of our English friends enjoying their holidays together.

I have prayed about it and felt that it was ok!!! #2 - I think if I lived in the States then it would not eb long before I put on some weight. I struggle to do that in the UK. #3 - I have never had funeral potatoes. are they really that good they sound a bit sick. Sorry for the impromptu post but there was no discussion of thanksgiving here and that just seemed wrong. even for an english person. #1 – I know. I have prayed about it and felt that it was ok!!!

You have one for the yams, another for the cranberries, then the sweet potato pie (that is different from the yams even though it is the same veggie we chop up, lol). Then you go to dips and gravy, well turkey gravy, ranch dressing, mustard pickles, cheez whiz (don't ask weird family thing), then for dessert chocolate sauce, whipped cream, caramel sauce, rum sauce....oh boy...I think I've figured out why I keep waddling around the house.
