I'm stuffed

[953 nut 63,542]

Stuffing is a major player in the world of Thanksgiving. Let’s face it: chicken and turkey can pop up at any time of the year, but when we want to dress those birds up, there’s just no substitute for some good ol’ carbyfilling. Even better, stuffing comes in all shapes and sizes. There are no hard and fast rules about what constitutes it—it can be bread, any kind of bread, rice, quinoa, and even matzo. There’s only one hard and fast stuffing rule: mix some ingredients, stuff it inside a cavity of another food item, and voila! Make no bones about it—it’s delicious. That’s why, on November 21, we celebrate National Stuffing Day!

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, today is the day to perfect your stuffing recipe. Making a traditional apple and onion stuffing? Use today to hone your ratios of caramelized onions to tart apples to thyme. Or, if you're hosting a holiday for the first time, test that fabulous stuffing recipe before it’s too late.

When growing up, my family always had oyster stuffing. Now we usually have two stuffings at Thanksgiving, one regular bread-type, the other cornbread.

My wife's best friend that passed away years ago used to make an exceptional Pork Stuffing for Thanksgiving. They had their big Family dinner, we had ours. An annual tradition was that later that evening, we would go over to their house. It was my task to de-bone their turkey for them to pick on or make turkey sandwiches, in return we would come home with a container of her Pork Stuffing. That with mayo, white turkey meat, and cranberry sauce on fresh rolls made for wonderful Friday sandwiches....

National Stuffing Day?  What about the filling and dressing days, you are leaving out 2/3 of the country.

I generally use the Pepperidge Farms Herb stuffing from the bag. One year I decided to go all out Diced up pumpernickel, sourdough, and rye breads, diced up cooked sausage and water chestnuts along with some crushed pecans. I was following a Paula Deen recipe  and was looking forward to impressing the whole family.

The customary way of calling out a teaspoon measure is with a lower case t   and an upper case T for a tablespoon (three times as much as a teaspoon). 

Well,    as printed the recipe called for 2T poultry seasoning, For those who like a good savory dressing, go for it, use some extra poultry seasoning! Unfortunately my family didn't enjoy savory dressing. 

Since the I have had to leave the empty Pepperidge Farms bag on the kitchen counter next to the dressing for everyone to see.
