"Hi my name is Lori with Figs Catering in Austin, Texas on behalf of Expert Village today we are going to show you how to make a entire Thanksgiving meal. Our sweet potatoes are now out of the oven they have been in a 350 degree oven for about 1 1/2 hours.

So my sweet potatoes are now ready and now we are going to make our whipped sweet potato dish. "
