This is Inkblot last night, helping to supervise Thanksgiving preparations. That’s a big ol’ pot of boiling sweet potatoes he’s interested in—or thinks he is, anyway, since he’d probably recoil in carnivorous disgust if real-life tubers ever showed up on his dinner plate. Still, a cat can dream, and really, you never know what’s in a pot until you’ve thoroughly checked it out, do you? It might have been turkey stew or something.

Have a happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Enjoy the day and forget about politics. And if you’re wondering what those boiling tubers are for, the answer is Praline Sweet Potatoes, an ancient family recipe originally from the LA Times. I don’t care for sweet potatoes myself, but it seems to be pretty popular with everyone else. The recipe is below. Enjoy!
