Your carbs are supposed to come from dressing and potatoes, not pasta.

Also, since you're from San Diego, can you even appreciate Thanksgiving without a seasonal change? I don't believe you can. 4 minutes ago, Shanedorf said: I'm truly sorry that your life is so empty and meaningless - and I don't mean just because you're a Browns fan. I'm sorry you waste calories on stuffing/dressing. It's wet bread. As for my life, it's not so much "meaningless" as "completely and utterly devoid of hope, while under the facade that next year things will get better". 4 minutes ago, Shanedorf said: * I use the terms Stuffing/Dressing interchangeably, but we don't cook it in the bird Ah, you don't cook it in the bird. Could we be calling it different things? We call it "trimmings" up here. Spare portions of the bird, with sausage, gravy, and other "fixin's"? Could this be the disconnect???? Bonus points for smothering it in the mashed potatoes? Could this be it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make a great stuffing (cooked in the bird) that is densely packed. You can slice it up like a bread. You get the great flavors of the turkey in it obviously and makes for the best part of the meal. "Stuffing" like Stouffers I would agree is pretty bad. This is the closest representation that I can find of our family stuffing (also works inside a meatloaf). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 a proper stuffing consists of wild rice, bacon, slivered almonds, and diced carrots/celery/onion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in WI and several of my buddies have voiced similar thoughts We hang out at the beach early in the day, then back home to commence cookin, eatin, drinking... ( and sometimes passing out deep into a Tryptophan coma ) Its certainly a different experience than when I lived in the Midwest, but its not a bad way to spend the day.

Not a bad idea. Make sure you're hitting them with enough salt and pepper also. I'm glad you liked them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKnight82 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I generally use two types of bread in my dressing. A local bakery makes a nice bread that has a hard outer shell with soft interior, its like a baguette but much thicker. I cube this bread. Then I take cornbread and crumble it up and add that as well.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOUCAN Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Stop opening stores on Thanksgiving so people can enjoy times with their families just like anyone else. If I told you your office (unless you're like a doctor or something) has to be open on Thanksgiving Day and you have to work so you don't get to enjoy this holiday with your family, you would have the same attitude. I work part time at Best Buy, and one of the biggest annoyances to me is the fact that they call us in as early as like 1 PM to come to work for some idiots who decided they need to wait for a cheap and crappy TV.
