As you know, we don't have Thanksgiving here but I'll share a pumpkin recipe which is a Barbadian favorite and I think it could be a hit for Thanksgiving.. I make mine on the fly and am not sure of the exact measurements but I found this one which should be great.

* 5 pounds Russet Or Yukon Gold Potatoes, Peeled And Rinsed
* 3 heads To 5 Heads Roasted Garlic
* 1-½ stick Regular Salted Butter (3/4 Cup)

(Prep time includes time needed to roast garlic.)

Cut the peeled potatoes into pieces and cook in boiling water until fork-tender. Drain water and return to pot, and mash potatoes over low heat until lots of the steam has escaped.

Next, mash in softened butter, cream cheese, half-and-half, and salt to taste. Dump in three to five heads of roasted garlic cloves; stir together, then check seasoning. Be sure to salt adequately.

Add some fresh ground black pepper, and serve with one or two roasted garlic cloves on top. Serve with steak and expect to be worshipped and kissed for at least 38 hours.
