Thanksgiving On BMV9000

     Page One Hundred Forty-Two.
     I think it had to have been 3733 and I was celebrating Thanksgiving with some friends on BMV9000. Yes... I definitely remember it was on BMV9000 because the group I was hanging out with rotated locations for our yearly celebrations. Elvis was all over the news because he'd just completed his comeback tour and was voted man of the universe by Newstime magazine. He'd had a particularly successful time there and really pushed strong for us to rent a few adjoining hotel suites on BMV9000's north pole. He insisted we'd love it. And we did.
      It wasn't a particularly large group sitting at our Thanksgiving table that year, only a dozen, but we were very good friends, so it was wonderful. Our hotel suites had great kitchens too. So my friend Martha was able to do her famous Grand Shouxie Xou. (How she got a Xou all the way from Raissazz in the Vladimar System to BMV9000 without anybody getting ill is beyond me. But, whatever. My place is not to ask questions) I, of course, made my signature sweet potato casserole. People have come to expect it of me and I enjoy doing it. It helps that it's very little work. Here's my Thanksgiving gift to you: the recipe.
