My family stuffing recipe is similar to yours, just a little simpler. Let the cubes of bread dry out, mix chopped celery and onion into it with your hands, bind with an egg if you like (Mom skips the egg and it's fine, soften up with a little water and saute a painful at a time in butter. I guess I do use broth instead of water if I'm not actually stuffing a bird. We don't add the liver to the stuffing, that gets fried in butter separately and eaten on toast by the cook.

Which doesn't help solve the bread problem at all.

I have cleverly tricked Husband into becoming interested in GBBO, mainly by having it playing while he's in the room.

Urk, I've barely gone outside today because the air is so bad but it's still giving me a headache.

JZ took Matilda to work today where the medical buildings all have highly filtered air.

Downtown Oakland is practically creepy, the air is so bad and the streets are kind of empty.

I feel like the purpose of bread in stuffing is to soak everything else up, and I'm not sure cauliflower can do that. Hm.

I feel like eggplant should have worked for that, and yet it somehow turned black! And was eggplanty. Maybe it was the cast iron pan that made it weird, though and I should try eggplant again.

I am obsessed because stuffing is my favorite!

Okay, now I need baklava.

I should thank you guys - at pub quiz last night there was a question about the craft competition show starring Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman. I've never seen it, but thanks to you guys I was still able to come up with Making It when no one else on my team had a clue!

Omg I'm watching Law and Order on Hulu and this episode is from like 2001 and the way they talk about the Internet is so hilarious

I'm trying to stay awake on the train ride home right now. I left home at 6 ish this morning. I are tired.
