Jeff Wrangler:
The cereal is a reference to Bobby's Thanksgiving meal?

What's for dessert?

Joey made a classic apple and cranberry pie. Her daughter made a chocolate cheesecake, and her granddaughter made a vegan, gluten-free citrus cheesecake that unfortunately completely collapsed into goo.
Joey's son made decaf coffee that he roasted himself.
Then we had a fab champagne, Billecart Saumon.

What a great evening it must have been, and thank you for the details on the stuffing and gravy, Paul!

Correct!
Jeff Wrangler:
Does anybody here have sweet potatoes on their Thanksgiving dinner tables?
Our family always does. I wouldn't eat them as a kid, and even now I could do without them, but years on years ago now I started to eat them because I was tired of being ridiculed by other family members for not eating them. (E.g., "You don't like sweet potatoes? What's the matter with you?")
At least, thank goodness, the cooks in the family (women, except a male cousin seems to have a lot to do with preparing the turkey), usually don't "candy" them. I don't know how that is done, but the end result is a kind of thick, syrupy coating about the texture of molasses. I believe brown sugar is involved.
A double thank goodness that nobody serves them with marshmallow on top. The very thought of that nauseates me.
We don't have mashed potatoes; "filling" (that is, stuffing) and the sweet potatoes are considered enough. Plus, the cousin who makes the filling includes mashed potato in her recipe. (My mother never made filling that way. Hers was just a bread filling.)
I still don't understand macaroni and cheese as a Thanksgiving side dish. ???
