Happy Thanksgiving to turkeylovers

i only had the ham.

sidenote: ate some yams that tasted like...black yunnan tea (a particular one that i still have in my stash)...no, there was no confusion... i was not drunk... the full taste spectrum (as much as i perceive it) was there in the cooked yam... yes, it had the consistency and texture of a yam, but the flavor of the tea...

Happy Turkey (and ham) Day to you as well. I have never been able to choke down a yam (or sweet potato) in any form. I try, and I've tried them a number of ways. I managed to get one sweet potato french fry down once, and that was the extent of it. It is neat when you pick up a familiar tea flavor in something unexpected, although I've always been let down by foods cooked in/with tea. Mine was pretty basic with the usuals, turkey, croissant, mashed potato, cranberry sauce, and stuffing. I made a pretty good cornbread stuffing, and my mother had a standout with a whole cranberry pie. Today I cook my own turkey/ stuffing for my house, I always enjoy it more when I can relax and have it on my own terms.

Yams are great either with baked potatoes (ratio about 3-4 potatoes to one yam) or in soup. Either way I use very little yams compared to the whole dish, but it adds something. I love them, they're cheap, easy to store, last a long time, and taste really nice to me when I use them as described. Mmm yams.

My sister makes an incredibly good citrus marmalade with a very nice, strong yunnan gold which I used to glaze the turkey and mixed with the yams, along with a bit of bourbon and pecans....................yummmm! Shen
