old family recipe--- sweet potato or yams with orange slices! peel and prep four to five large yams and slice them into 1/4" slices. take two large oranges and cut them in 1/8" slices. then take the yam slices and vertically place them into a pyrex baking dish three slices at a time and then one 1/2 orange slice, 3 slices yam and then orange slice etc,etc, etc. until the yams (or sweet potatoes) are all used up. pour 1/2 cup orange juice over the top of them and 1/4 cup grand mernier. take a couple of shots of the grand mernier while you sit back and wait for them to bake at 375 degrees for about an hour. have a great thanksgiving everyone!!!:thumbup:

as kids, we used to call this pink fluff! wife also makes it with mandarin oranges and calls it orange fluff!

The pink stuff reminds me of my ex-in-laws, who always had home-made 'ambrosia". I never learned how to make it, but I found an ambrosia ice cream that I like just as well.

We make Garlic Rice. Brown 1 small diced onion and 2 cloves of diced garlic in 1 stick of real butter. Add 1 cup of rice, 1 large jar of sliced mushrooms and 2 cans of consumme. (This takes at least a 2-qt casserole dish.) Bake at 325 for 2 hours. When the 2 hour mark gets close check it. If you overcook it will be too dry, but you want all the broth absorbed and the rice cooked thoroughly.

You are all making me hungry... and drooling for Thanksgiving already!!!
