Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I was going to kinda wing it. Make some cornbread, get it kinda dry, cook a bit of veggies, cook some sausage, add about twice as much sage as people recommend, throw it all together with some stock and cook it. Does an egg go in there?
I really can't believe people trust me to cook. I do promise not to totally wing the turkey.

Ah hah hah hah. I see what you did there.

Yes, Thanksgiving really calls for a clean kill. Labor Day maybe.
That sounds right, Cass. We've never used egg.
My first thanksgiving away at university, I volunteered to make the turkey for my group of friends. They were all horrified at my family's stuffing recipe - a mixture of cubed whole wheat bread, a mashed potato, chopped onion and summer savory. Hey, we like it. I can't remember whether my friends liked it (or if they even tried it).
Stuffing really does seem to be the most variable component of a turkey dinner. I have to say I boggled at the amount of butter in the Buzzfeed stuffing recipe.
My sister-in-law puts oysters in her stuffing. Some kind of Massachusetts thing.
Oysters in stuffing is pretty traditional. I wish it was a tradition in my family! But not enough of us eat them. We are going to try to bring some to eat before dinner this year.
Oh man, my grandma always made oyster dressing. SO GOOD. No one quite makes it like she did, although my aunt always makes it.

I've always been curious to try it. It definitely won't be happening for a family meal, since my mother and sister are both allergic to shellfish.
I've been having this weird form of nostalgia for about a week where I want to watch old TV shows and movies. Understand, by "old," I don't mean Three's Company or Casablanca. I mean Ally McBeal and Dawson's Creek and Mean Girls. "Old" = "pre-Tim, but not pre-1990s."
I'm not sure what that's about, but I'm glad we don't have a Netflix subscription.
