Thanks, Franks! This is so delicious, I'm will not have to eat for a week. I'm sure the stories will come pouring in like gravy over smashed potatoes; however, this year, Shortcake and I plan to try something new. While we'll be dining at my older sisters in Los Gatos,we plan to have our dessert (or at least the first one of the day) with coffee and the Macy's Parade first thing Thursday morning. This presents a paradigm shift of mammoth proportion; yet, it makes sense in that after a big meal, it is sometimes difficult (but NEVER impossilbe) to fully enjoy all the desserts at the table. And as the old addage goes "life is uncertain; eat dessert first."

What are we bringing to her table...those cardiomyopathic sweet potatoes in halved oranges. Pineaple, pinch of ginger and a dash of triple sec with mini-marshmallows, browned to a crisp, on top.

Let me just say how thankful I am that you put so much heart and soul into your Streetwise columns; good food for the spirit and most warming, as the leaves turn color and our fond memories grow another year older.

Cheers to you and yours,
