Henrietta, the vanilla sounds good. I'll have to try that with some
fruit.

Sheryl, your t-day dinner sounds a lot like ours. But my mom did like
to add the giblets to the stuffing -- us kids would never eat it
because of that! ha.

And one time my parents made my brother sit at the table until he
finished his sweet potatoes so he developed a passionate hatred of
them. We stopped having them at any dinner because of that. I
"rediscovered" them again as an adult, now I love them, usually without
too much extra, maybe a little maple syrup, salt and pepper.

We never had that green bean casserole either. For some reason canned
peas were the big thing for us.

I guess when you have 3 picky kids, the dishes can't get too fancy,
haha.
