On Thanksgiving, Koko appointed himself the guardian of the coats. He took a particular liking to my niece's wool coat (which he is laying on). Of course, his security services do not come without a price...she later rewarded him for his service with some choice pieces of turkey.
This will be the last post on my Thanksgiving menu. I know, that in itself is reason to be thankful. There is the "Great Debate" as to whether to go mashed or whipped. If just making it for my family, I usually just do the mashed potato thing and save myself a little work. But, since this is a special occasion, I like to make things a little more fancy, which is why I choose to do the whipped potatoes. As you look over the ingredients to this recipe, you may raise your eyebrows when you come upon the buttermilk, but this will give your potatoes a nice, tangy flavor. As you can see, this recipe is somewhat large (I have to make enough for 23 people), but you can just scale-down the ingredients to suit your needs.
I hope you all have a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
