Hey Jill I know this is a genealogy list and I know that asking for a recipe is tantamount to murder but those Pineapple Yams sound pretty good. How about sending it on to me off the list. Not right away, since I lucked up and don't have to cook tomorrow, but when you have time. I live in Louisiana and yams (we call them sweet potatoes) rank right up there with crawfish and gumbo as our local delights. Your way of cooking them sounds like it would taste really good. Enjoy your traditional dinner. My mom always has to have english peas for Thanksgiving even though we all hate them and never eat them. Now, it's a family joke and there would probably be an uprising if they were not on the table. Traditions do count for a lot. Happy Thanksgiving all!
