"I made it for the first time last Saturday (11-22-2008) for Thanksgiving Dinner held at my home (even though it wasn't on Thanksgiving Day but I planned it before). Everyone whom I invited enjoyed it very much, especially one of my friends who ate some this afternoon (11-24-2008). However, I made it like mashed potatoes so everyone can eat it, instead of, only 2 people. But the taste remained same."
