That's right ... I served Stove Top stuffing for our Thanksgiving dinner and I make no apologies. :-) I bought an organic free-range turkey, mashed potatoes like there was no tomorrow, and baked the ancient-family recipe Date Nut Pudding from scratch. So I took a few shortcuts in other areas. I think all the organic goodness cancels out the stuffing slur. I should have bought organic stuffing, but I didn't think that quickly on my feet. I'll put my early morning slicing of dates against your onion and celery dicing any day of the week....
Gay turkey celebrations are always interesting. At best, you have the usual two family balance to master. We spent actual Turkey Day with Ledcat's family which was vastly entertaining due to the adorable antics of the 11 month old niece. Especially when she was staring entranced at 97 year old great-grandpa as he napped in his chair. Plus, there was homemade pecan pie. Now that's Thanksgiving. Friday my family came to our abode for dinner. No baby, but I did get to watch my 110 lb dogs act like total fools over my 100 lb grandma -- she's like the Pied Piper of dogs. Today, I want a cheeseburger ....
No matter how crazy and hectic and stuffing-challenged the holiday, I am thankful that between Ledcast and I we have three 90something grandparents still celebrating with us.
Amen.
