[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I made a new sweet potato casserole recipe.  It’s savory with Gouda.  So no marshmallows.  My friend’s 9 year old daughter complained in front of the group and refused to try it.  Instead of telling her daughter not to complain, or it you don’t have anything nice to say just don’t say it, the mom said she would make her the sweet marshmallow version tomorrow.  Way to enable the rude sulk mom.  [/quote]

That is super rude or the mom but how dare you put gouda on sweet potatos during Thanksgiving

[/quote]

ugh my mom is doing this......I am so upset. Praline crusted sweet potato is a mainstay from my childhood. [/quote]

Then make some this weekend.  But don’t complain at dinner.  [/quote]

Agree it’s rude to complain at dinner, but I don’t understand why people try to get creative at Thanksgiving.  There are 364 other days of the year to make new stuff. Just make what everyone expects. You can “improve” the recipe — if the old family recipe calls for margarine, but all means use butter, but at least approximate the original, for heaven’s sake. [/quote]
because sometimes your family fave dishes passed down from granny Maude or Mae or Matilda are truly disgusting. Do people really like marshmallow on their sweet potatoes? REALLY? I think it’s disgusting. I also think my MIL’s stuffing made with crackly wild rice is disgusting so I made my own mashed sweet potatoes and brought my own stuffing and it was much better. Heck, even my kids agreed. It’s time to retire the jello salad, too, Sally. [/quote]

Stay home grumpy.[/quote]
