"Mornin Glories"

Grab you a rocker and come sit a spell

and lets chat.

This week is  "The week"....the week for food preparation out the kazoo!!

Sweet potatoes are selling here for 15 cents a pound.
Let me tell you I am stocking up on them.
Just wrap them in newspaper and place them in a dark area.
They will last a long time.
We love them baked...
sliced thinly..and fried with some sugar sprinkled on them.
And of course sweet potato casserole.
I recently saw on PBS a chef making pumpkin pie
with a cup of cooked sweet potatoes in it. He
said it was his best seller.

Here is what our menu looks like:
Roast Turkey
Cornbread dressing
Cheesy Grits
Fresh Green Beans with Southern touches
Asparagus
Sweet Potato Casseroles
Potato Casserole
Homemade yeast rolls
Fruit salad
Deviled Eggs

Desserts
Apple Pie
Pecan pie
Pumpkin Spice Delight

What does your menu look like?
Do you bake, fry or smoke your turkey?
I will post recipes on Wednesday..when the
Dixie Rose Diner opens up.

December 1st the Dixie Rose Diner will start hosting for
2 weeks in a row
Cookie Recipe Exchange

this Thursday and Friday..the General Store will be closed


Saturdays and Sundays are a time for Memories
take the time on your own blogs to talk about your memories
and then you can post them.

Christmas Tree Hunting
Linky will be open all day.

I want us to have a community
Please lets all join in..I realize you can't do them all.
Just come when you can. I have prayed
about this..and will leave it up for two months.
Then we will re-evaluate it.
I will post the schedule at the top.
On the sidebar the topics and recipes for the month will be posted
