My mom can't cook. She never could, and she never will. She kicks ass at collecting recipes though. Why she decided to clip out FSCJ, is a mystery in my family. Some say she lost her mind. Others maintain that she had an affair with a traveling clove salesman. The truth is out there. Somewhere.

Flaming Spam Cherries Jubilee is a simple dish. You take a can of Spam, jiggle it out onto a plate, cover every millimeter of it with whole cloves, pour a can of cherry pie filling on top, and then soak it brandy and set it on fire.

The result is nothing less than spectacularly disappointing. I lost two teeth, and an eyebrow that night.

To this day, my mother denies all knowledge of ever having made this recipe.

She lies.

BTW, I read this at 1am while trying to be quiet as my hubby slept. I failed thanks to you.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday!

Turkey, mashed potatoes, baked corn, sweet potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie (with real pumpkin) green bean casserele.

Deviled eggs FTMFW!

Damn it, now I'm hungry and I have to wait another 32 hours...

Mom always makes it best but all 4 grandmothers do an excellent job as well.

MIL doesn't cook.

I always look forward to the turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.

Stuffing is definitely my favorite, followed by beer and mashed potatoes.

The cold turkey sandwich ill be eating shortly is always a great thing too.

I have a new favorite - Monkey Bread. I don't know what it is, but it's good.

I should start celebrating American as well as Canadian Thanksgiving....

My mother always makes this sweet potato casserole. A Southern treat we learned of in Tejas....

Y'all prolly know it. I make it now for peeps up here and they love it.

Sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar (maple syrup), pecans and marshmallows.

It rocks!!!

Thanksgiving was over a month ago. But I'll take a pumpkin pie and sweet potatoes in all their forms any day.

I like it all. Sweet potato casserole - my sister-in-law made a great one this Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law makes great homemade stuffing. Father-in-law makes a mean turkey on the grill. I make some kick-ass mashed potatoes and homemade gravy.

Gravy. On everything.

My favorite food of the holiday is oyster filling

It's a simple to make dish consisting of OTC crackers, oysters, butter, milk and a bit of pepper and salt. But boy is it good.
