We will be driving out to my mother's house in the Valley.

Which of course means our annual listening of Alice's Restaurant will easily be accommodated. It just isn't Thanksgiving without Alice's Restaurant!

How many times do you plan on listening to it?

That's disappointing to learn since I don't even know what Alice's Restaurant is. Does this mean I have to start all over?

That explains a lot.

Looks like I'll be making yams.

Peel, boil, mash yams
take brick of brown sugar from back of pantry and warm in oven until usable
add brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract to yams

mmm yams

I was thinking of trying something different with the yams this year, actually, as I've never done the marshmallows on top thingy, and the canned yams have a simpler recipe. Wonder if that would be as good. Sometimes the fresh yams just aren't sweet enough.

But I love your yams.

It's a song:

The final part of the song is an encouragement for the listeners to sing along, to resist the draft, and to end war.

Quite popular among those of us that grew up with hippie parents.

It's been quoted here before... But be careful with that, it can lead to L7's.

Youtube has it here.

Did you know he re-recorded it many years later with an additional section? That version is about 23 minutes long if memory serves. When I went to get the song off of iTunes a while back, that is what I ended up with. Thankfully, a wonderful LoTer (whom unfortunately I can't recall) provided me with the original.

And for Southern Californians, KLOS (95.5) usually plays it every year at noon on Thanksgiving.

We had quite the discussion about "tasting Jen's Yams" at breakfast the other day.

Have you tasted Jen's yams?
Oh yes, her yams are yummy....etc etc etc.

We are having a nontraditional Thanksgiving with prime rib, blue bayou potatoes, salad greens with candied pecans,some veggies(undecided), rolls, pumpkin pies, gingerbread and dutch apple pies.

For earlier in the day I'm making baked brie, cheese balls, veggies, dips, smokies for the boy and many asorted breads and chips.

It's looking like fewer people are showing up though. Oh well, I won't complain about those leftovers. Now the boys want a turkey too! I told them they'd have to wait for at least a couple of days for anoth huge meal.
