Sweet and Southern - A Little Drabble Do Ya

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Illya looked on hungrily at the preparations for a Thanksgiving meal.  Never before had he seen something this luscious, this enticing.

Layer upon layer of the orange colored potato were swathed in butter and brown sugar, pineapple and thin slices of orange.  Finally, triumphantly, a topping of small marshmallows finished the grand assembly before being set into the oven to brown to perfection.

“And this is dessert?”

Her reply was as triumphant as the gooey crown.  Landing the Russian for Thanksgiving was something for which this southern belle hoped they would both be truly thankful.

“No darlin’.  Dessert comes later.”

Sounds like she has something besides food in mind

Most southern girls do ;)

As Austin Powers says. "Yeah Ba-bee!" That dish by the way is making my mouth water, I agree with Illya, it sounds incredible.

It is my favorite dish on the table, especially with some homemade cranberry sauce. Thanks!

"Aaaaagh" she moans a she begins to salivate in a Pavlovian response...

No kidding. Sadly I am not the chief cook tomorrow, so there won't be either of my favorites on the table. Christmas, I'll do those for Christmas.

My cousins do all the cooking for Thanksgiving, and it's very basic, I've tried to bring over some tantalizing 'different' dishes, but they get looked at like they've got cooties in them. My family's tastes are very limited.

I can never have them over as they are afraid and or allergic to cats, even in I sequestered Bowie to the bedroom...

For Christmas we have an English dinner with roast beef or filet mignon, Yorkshire puddings and the trimmings, plus paper crowns and favors, all thanks to Vic, my cousin's other half who's from London.

Can't wait for Christmas...yum.

Mr Waverly's going to worry about why Illya's always trying to manoeuvre Head Office from New York to Atlanta.

Brown sugar does make a difference, doesn't it? *wanders off into kitchen*

I can't imagine that Illya wouldn't love Southern cooking. And yes, brown sugar makes everything better ;) thank so much!

Oh, that made my mouth water! Very tasty tale.

Yeah, I love candied sweet potatoes, especially the day after the big meal. Thanks for the comment.

Ah-huh, I get this mental picture of Southern Belle leaving a tempting trail of sweets leading into the bedroom...

Good strategy--Illya can't run as fast when his tummy's full.

Well, let's just assume that when she says 'come over here sweetie pie', it ain't gonna be pumpkin she's hopin' for.
Thanks for the tasteful comment ;)
