Honorable Mention: Alicia's Bacon Wrapped Dates
I had to retract my joke that perhaps Cousin Alicia was too cheap to buy scallops because these bacon wrapped dates were one of the best dishes all weekend.
Honorable Mention: Mom's Homemade Ravioli
Ravioli from scratch. Enough said.
Honorable Mention: Jackie's Sweet Potato Mash
The brown sugar and almond topping was heavenly. Recipe requested.
Winner: Cris' Ginger Sweet Potato
I didn't know Aunt Cris could cook. Cris' thanksgiving tradition is trying to convince people she made my mom's ravioli. She texted me the recipe for her ginger sweet potato yesterday.
"Slice potato 1/8 thin. Stand up next to each other in an oiled pan. Do not lay flat. Melt stick of butter (Editor's Note: uf! maybe my next post will be about butter) and brush between each slice. Bake 400 degrees covered tightly 40 min. Mix 1/2 cup brown sugar, grate 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper and spread across the top of the potatoes. Return to 400 for another 30 uncovered. (Editor's Note: Classic aunt ending next) Broil top if you want to make it crunchy at the end! Keep a good eye on it burns quickly"
