On the Menu:

Pistachio Salad:
Pistachio Instant Pudding Mix

Donna, if we didn't already have plans for today we'd be on your doorstep in no time!! I like my sweet potatoes the same way as you, and those salad recipes sound great!!!

Have a great Thanksgiving Day, ladies - - and don't eat too much!

Have a good Thanksgiving, if you're one of the USians on the forum. For the rest of you out there--Christmas is coming!

Those deviled eggs sound good, Donna. That's one thing that won't be on our menu today, but I have done them in the past.

Hi Virginia,

Pecan pie is my wife's favorite (and speciality) too. You'll have to try it someday if we ever meet.

What!?! You had another piece of that delicious pie without me???

I hope you brought some home for me!! ::hmph::

Oh, well, you are taking me out to dinner tonight, so I shouldn't complain. But they don't serve the dessert I want, so you'll have to do!!!

Love you!!

One of my wife's specialties as well. Being from Texas, and having pecan trees in their yard, she couldn't help learn what to do with them things
