monkeygirl Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 STUFFING. The most inelegant of names, the yummiest part of many Thanksgiving feasts. Stove Top? Home made? What of the possibility of contamination from the turkey vagina? What do like to put in it, on it? Ever had a stuffing sandwich? with or without gravy? MMMMMMMMMM. I wish I had stuffing right now.

Cerina Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 My mom makes the BEST stuffing. It's a 2 day thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen123 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Stuffing is definitely my favorite part of Thanksgiving meals. My mom makes a fantastic homemade stuffing on big holidays that includes a lot of sausage thrown in. Unfortunately, I won't be having it anytime soon since it is extremely difficult (and expensive) to get back home for a short Thanksgiving break. Hopefully, she'll make it at Christmas, too! Otherwise, I'm fine with Stove Top, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 My mom always made homemade stuffing so I turn my nose up at Stove Top. But I think my stuffing is better than hers. I use cranberries, apples, celery and tons of rosemary and turkey seasoning. The secret is the egg, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I love stove top through the year but for Thanksgiving my mom makes this awesome homemade stuffing meant for turkey and gravy and mashed potatoes. It's cubed breads - sourdough, white bread, corn bread, rye, just about any day old bread that she's got and puts them in a big bowl. She dices up celery and onions and puts them in melted butter to wilt and make them soft. Then adds raisins or a peeled apple. Then she will take fresh chicken stock and some fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary, salt and pepper, maybe herbs de provence and heats it a little. Then it all gets dumped in the big bowl with the breads and stirred up and then she dumps it in a baking dish to heat up later in the day or the next day that's been prepped with more butter. We do sausage balls so she stopped doing sauted sausage as it was too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny Skywalker Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 We don't do stuffing. We have dressing.Stuffing is in the bird, dressing is baked outside, right? If that's the case, I technically do dressing, too. Married to a food cleanliness nazi and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashmere Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Stuffing is best in thanksgiving shepherd's pie, but I do love it with gravy and meat and mashed potatoes during the actual dinner as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Mathison Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Stuffing is OK. Gosh, this thread is making me sorta depressed though. Here are my current thanksgiving plans: -Sit around at home; -Drink; -?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I dunno. Kinda sounds like a great day to me. I'll be at my parents house, so there'll be no drinking. It's gonna be awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I don't get to drink either, too many drunks that we don't want getting drunk so everyone has to be miserably sober. I might sneak a flask... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El Chalupacabra Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah, no doubt. I'd rather have dry turkey than be sober on Thanksgiving My brother's wife's family is Mormon (his wife isn't but her family is), so when I was over there there last year, beer in hand, it was quite the scandal. I wasn't allowed another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The epilogue is CM is in Europe with alcohol within reach and doesn't have to put up with family, and should stop complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Mathison Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Just sounds weird, that's all. If I'm at my parents' house and feel like drinking, I drink. If I don't, I don't. But then again, I'm a professional in my 30s with a six-figure salary, so my parents treat me like an adult, and have for more than a decade now. Sitting around, shooting the sh-t with family members I haven't seen in years, over a few drinks, is one of the best parts of the holidays. I thought this was the norm. Hell, every thanksgiving dinner I've been to, including at other families, have at a minimum gone through a few bottles of wine at the table. Again, thought this was the norm. Unless the family's Mormon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 See the thing is, there's family, and then there's in-laws. Family can be cool, but when it's in-laws, rarely is it any fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Mathison Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah, exactly. Somebody gets it. I mean, sure.. there was once a time when I wasn't allowed to drink at the table either. When I was in freaking high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
