It would out-pile the turkey on my plate by about 2-to-1. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy the weekend with your family.Rich Leonardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060538864273399240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-1132883179135271712005-11-24T20:46:00.000-05:002005-11-24T20:46:00.000-05:00Happy Thanksgiving!

But I don't think they really become a family until they've agreed on a recipe for turkey stuffing. :)<BR/><BR/>Early in my marriage, B.K. (Before Kids), we ate Thanksgiving dinner with my in-laws. I was appalled to discover that the turkey stuffing, which is my favorite side dish, included raisins and orange juice. Gag me with a wishbone! Didn't these benighted folk realize that <I>proper</I> stuffing had olives and walnuts?<BR/><BR/>I hasten to add that time heals parochialism, and we have since developed our own family recipe which includes pine nuts and lemon zest. And I am now more willing than the horses (we have horses rather than monkeys), to break the bonds of tradition with the occasional new and different stuffing recipe. <BR/><BR/>So thank you for the cornbread variation. I think I once tried making cornbread stuffing using the dried bits that come in a box and was displeased with the bitter flavor. It sounds like the Jiffy cornbread base would be an improvement. (I fondly remember Jiffy cornbread mix from my childhood, though I haven't used it in decades.)<BR/><BR/>My brother and his wife used to argue every year about whether the Thanksgiving turkey should be stuffed with cornbread or white bread dressing. After 20 years of marriage it suddenly occurred to them that a turkey has two cavities to fill with stuffing. So now they have both flavors on Thanksgiving. (I don't know if they argue about whose flavor gets put in the larger cavity.)<BR/><BR/>Happy Thanksgiving to all Darwins!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
