Luke's table setting was mesmerising! I hope you pass on the table setting skills, knowledge and etiquette to your children so the craft is not lost. What a lovely table for your Thanksgiving dinner.
Dear Luke-- the reason for the marshmallows plus the browned sugar is to make the “CANDIED” part of the candied sweet potatoes. If you are making simple baked sweet potatoes you can leave off the marshmallows. I must say Luke, you are so cute in so many ways.
Oh yuck. I absolutely despise candied sweet potatoes any time. In our household, we do natural sweet potatoes and you can add whatever you’d like. I like to pile veggies onto mine, like Brussel sprouts or greens. We do salads at Thanksgiving, and emphasize the fresh veggies so we don’t all feel unhealthy after eating the feast. 🥗
Julie, it is wonderful that you brought the tradition of Thanksgiving to your family. It is a major holiday for us Americans so your children really should know that side of you. It is so sweet that Luke wants to include some of his recipes to the mix. Yes, Luke. There are no courses. Everybody always has a house full of people, so unless you have a hired staff, courses are not possible. Usually all the food is put out as a buffet and everyone serves themselves and then takes their seat. For this, the turkey would be presented carved. If fewer people, the head of the table will carve the bird and all of the other food is placed on the table to be passed. And many people put marshmallows on their sweet potatoes. The other topping is very much like a strudel topping with pecans, our preferred way. You and Julie are too cute together. I so enjoy watching you! As a matter of fact, ya’ll are what I will be watching Thanksgiving afternoon with several others while the rest are glued to football games or napping. Happy, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Many blessings to you all!
No courses, Luke. Food either placed on the table, a sideboard, or kitchen counter--everyone either passes the dishes or stands in line. The turkey may or may not be placed on the table carved...lots of variety in presentation. It can be lots of fun. Yes to marshmallows, too. Happy eating, and Happy Thanksgiving!🦃🇺🇸🇬🇧
I was around before the green bean casserole was ever a thing, at least not in Northern California, I can remember in around 1970, my mom and I were looking at the recipe on a can of Campbell's' Cream of Mushroom soup, and we both thought we'd like to try it for Thanksgiving. The next year rolled around, and we wanted it again. We told friends about it, and brought it to a couple of Thanksgiving dinners we were invited to, it was just the two of us, and we sometimes received kind invitations from friends, and it was always popular. About fifteen or twenty years later or so, it was everywhere. It had become a Thanksgiving staple I have often made it without the can of soup, making the sauce from scratch but I wouldn't say it's a monumental difference. The original recipe called for canned beans, which I don't do. I'm not the kind of cook who measures stuff, and I tweek; I add garlic and whatever else I want, and it's always good.
Happy day after Thanksgiving from the PNW in Washington, USA I've been binge watching your channel all week! 100s at least! I do watch both channels so I'm sure there's a few I have missed. It's been so much more fun & interesting than most of the drivel & even the history I love on your side of the pond. Very real people & history, it's a winner deal to view!
Happy Thanksgiving! Ive noticed, when setting the table you put your knife on the outside, we put it right of the plate, blade in and then spoon. My family always have praline yams, butter, brown sugar and pecans. Love the center piece and candles.
My sweet potato casserole's topping is 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 2 and 1/2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans (in that order). So good!
Happy Thanksgiving from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina💖🙏💖 So much we could gripe about but sooooo much more to be thankful and so grateful for!!
Luke, you're funny! Re: the chipboard leaf, you said " Don't tell anyone." You just told 150 thousand people! Love you guys. Ever since I found your channel I've been binge watching starting with a year ago, and it's so much fun!
I'm an average American in Scotland and I celebrate on Saturday. We have all the usual and a big dinner with our friends and for the first time our daughter. Your videos give me a bit of joy every week. Thank you so much
My daughter made Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, Watergate salad - there are no greens in this, rolls, and macaroni and cheese- a southern thing here in the states. I made pecan and pumpkin pies. I came home with some leftovers. Yummy the next day. The traditional Thanksgiving dinner is pretty much the same here. Hope you enjoyed your meal. Your centerpiece and table settings look beautiful. Love listening to your banter. So cute and funny. Much love from Hiram, GA🇺🇸
Always make my own cranberry sauce from scratch. I make all my food from scratch . The sweet potatoes is an absolute must . It my kid’s favorite. I’m a Yankee, so I never heard of it until I married my southern husband. Is mom taught me . But it is absolutely great !
@@donnabaardsen5372 Guess I shouldn’t cook turkey , do dishes and do voice to text on my phone while watching the video 😂😂😂😂 I corrected it , but that was a good laugh. 👍
Just the two of us and I don’t cook. But I’m watching and sewing. We go out to eat Friday afternoon. Tomorrow will be Mexican food. Happy thanksgiving ❤️
I substitute cream of celery soup in green Bean casserole cause we have some non mushroom eaters. Thanks for being here , it’s now August of 24 and u cheered me up!
Happy Thanksgiving Julie and Luke. Have a wonderful day as a family. Can’t wait to see your pictures of the Christmas Market and your home decorations. Hello from Alabama! Julie southern families use both marshmallows and chopped pecans.
Lol, being an American married to an Englishman you guys Crack me up. I actually lived in Illinois too. Love the English phrases Julie has picked up. Happy Thanksgiving! Brooklyn NY
Love the cottage that Julie recently restored! Esp. Love the sage green inside the cottage. It seems to be a popular color in the UK! I can’t wait to paint my new entrance door that color for my house in Southern California. Btw, Dorset is my favorite county in the Uk! Can’t wait to visit! Love everything about the UK! You two crack me up! Always fun to see what you are up to! Thanks for the upload!👍😊❤️
Happy Thanksgiving! Yes, I am late... But frankly it's Thanksgiving weekend. Aside from being thankful for family and friends... Another thing I'm thankful for are leftovers, especially a Thanksgiving sandwich! Pun not intended. LoL.
