Do you offer Thanksgiving left-overs to guests?
at this age and stage, i really can't afford to not keep the leftovers. i think leftovers of the dessert are great like someone mentioned.
i do think that leftovers are okay for college-aged kids or for people/families that you know are less fortunate. my mom still piles the leftovers on. but then again, the guestlist is small.
Pumpkin pie vs. sweet potato pie
see...i think sweet potato pie is WAY different. not only in the consistency...(sweet potato is so velvety and thick...pumpkin pie definitely more of a custard consistency). but the taste is very different for me...the spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, etc) seem to work so much better with the sweet potato than the pumpkin.
also, pumpkin pie reminds me of my Midwestern holiday fare growing up, where as sweet potato pie reminds me of southern and soul food cooking, which means comfort to me now days.

Last bite on earth:

haha! i like this article. i do think that if people are coming to eat and happy with your food...who cares how it gets there! shoot, if someone presented me with a catered thanksgiving meal, i wouldn't complain.
however, this holiday is like the pinnacle of my year...this and xmas...it's where i have to lay it all out and impress. there are certain things i do semi-homemade only because i haven't yet tried the homemade approach: stuffing (i would either used pre-made bread crumbs, or a box of cornbread). and the pie crust. can't do that yet.
