THANKSGIVING DINNER

Jess ate all the pies.

But there is leftovers of everything else if anyone wants them!

Today we went shopping! My mother bought a Dumbledore hat to wear when kids get sent to the principal's office and a slingshot howler monkey toy. Also for her office. I bought lots of books and a gold dress cut like Marilyn Monroe's Seven Year Itch dress.

It's pretty close to traditional English Christmas-- which is what we usually have for Christmas as my aunt is English and Irish. We have Yorkshire pudding at Christmas and a roast.

And this is sweet potatoes/yams, not regular potatoes. They taste like dessert to begin with.

You have a wonderful mix of nationalities in your family!

I've had sweet potatoes before and still can't reconcile them to marshmallows in my head! But then, I probably won't ever have to. Unless I married an American and suddenly had to make Thanksgiving dinner! That'd be weird.

And even then, we don't like them, so we've never had them. I just know you'll see them for sale in the grocery stores. I can't stomach sweet potatoes; they make me ill.

I can't eat sweet potatoes either! They get my gag-reflex working.

They're most certainly a savory food in Oz, though. As are pumpkins. I don't think I even got over the shock I felt when I learned, a few years ago, that pumpkin pie is a dessert.

Food all looks scrumptious, though!

Yeah, here they're prepared with sugar and maple syrup and are gooey sweet. I am not a fan of sweet veggies at all, so boo!
