  i've tried to find it in print while i was a jw about thanksgiving and couldn't find it.

  i actually convinced my relatives that the society never said thanksgiving was wrong.

  TY blondie ...

  "I say that the things which the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I do not want you to become sharers with the demons. You cannot be drinking the cup of Jehovah and the cup of demons; you cannot be partaking of ‘the table of Jehovah’ and the table of demons. Or ‘are we inciting Jehovah to jealousy’? We are not stronger than he is, are we?" "What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever? And what agreement does God’s temple have with idols?"—

  Sounds like JWs shouldn't use the same bathroom as the rest of us ... LOL

  It says something about not celebrating "national holidays" but that's it.

  Here's mine from the other thread. I have a candied one at home... just buy the frozen ones and then put sugar/water syruped and cinnimon on top.

  • 4 cups sweet potato, cubed
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Cook over medium high heat until tender; drain and mash.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In medium bowl, mix the sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potato mixture.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown.

  I like sweet potato casserole but my mom always made candied yams.

  I don't have my recipe with me but this sounds about like it.

  • 4 cups sweet potato, cubed
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Cook over medium high heat until tender; drain and mash.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  The old cornbread which I like, is not dry or powdery but is moist and crumbly with an almost greasy taste

  This flour crap ... You guys just don't know how to do it right is all. If you tasted mine, the flour would go out the window. I like flour -- in fact, I buy the big 35 lb bag at sams because I use so much in cakes/bread/gravyies .. but it has no place in my cornbread! I'm sorry -- I forgot to post the recipe last night.

  Let's be clear -- there is no "grit" in my cornbread. Not that there is anything wrong with "grits" (which the key to good grits is cooking them 45 minutes and not the 10 the box says). My cornbread is made from fresh cornmeal from the local produce stand. It's so moist and melts in your mouth -- therefore making perfect DRESSING!

  YA'LL must come visit. You would never be the same.

  One more thing we must try to settle...

  Candied yams or sweet potato casserole?

  Here's a tip too -- taste it all and season it before you add the eggs. When it's seasoned properly, add the eggs.

  And -- Sage is gross!

  Wait -- NO flour goes into cornbread in my house! ... no NO NO!

  I'll get you a good recipe when I get home. A good tip to get great corbread is to use stonegroud cornmeal (Hodgkin's mill makes one that's in my grocery store or you can get it from a fruit stand usually)
