Jello mold takes me back to Thanksgivings past. Also, remember creamed onions.

But the dish I wouldn't eat if I were at a dinner and it were offered to me is that God-awful sweet potato and marshmallow mess.

the wife has tried oyster dressing every year for decades and still not got it right. last year $60 in oysters so i have put my foot down. stovetop dressing and cornish hen is good enough for 2.

They wouldn't have a jello mold anywhere in their house. They love to get in the kitchen together to make dishes. Everything is the best and the freshest.

It makes me tired just thinking about their effort.
