Someone told me the path to destruction was in a fried Mars Bar, which I can almost understand...over here the latest new indulgence is French-fried sweet potatoes, sprinkled with blonde sugar, cinnamon and "secret recipe" which is FRESH nutmeg (sweet, not bitter). And when the organic crowd gets into the act, they throw in these maroon-red yams called the Garnet...(gasps). And...yes...someone...some wonderful, marvelous unknown person...they thought of drizzling warm Sundae fudge and a smidgen of cream over it with bourbon-coated pecans.

Thanksgiving, I suspect, will hit the area with a bang this year...
