That's what I thought! None of my business, but is there a particular reason (again, no problem if it's private).


Actually, there was no specific reason.    We just decided to go traditional this year.

Could the carnivores at least smother it in gravy?  ???

That year, I made two versions, so everyone was happy.

One year, I made veggie stuffing.  It's the same, except:  no butter, no egg and veggie broth.  Which of course, means no flavor!

I'll eat most Thanksgiving dishes, traditional or otherwise within reason. But anything that combines sweet potatoes with marshmallows is a hard no for me. In fact, the whole point of sweet potatoes is they're sweet -- let them be the sweetness focus and add just about any savory ingredients.

Yeah, that's just gross.  :P

I do rather like cornbread stuffing.

Finally, my standard first guess paid off! But what a weird bot score. Was it anything but luck that I could figure out the missing vowel when no others would work there?

I mean, second-guess wins are almost always luck. And this one was nothing but luck.

Figured out the green theme, but it's been too long since I've played!

Katy, we usually do Italian each year, this year will be different.

That's what I thought! None of my business, but is there a particular reason (again, no problem if it's private).


As for stuffing, I think cornbread stuffing is the platonic ideal -- but frankly I like bread better. I also prefer not to put it in the turkey, which is slightly unsafe, but to infuse it with some aspect of turkey, like broth or gravy or whatever. I can do without celery, but if someone wants to put it in there I can pick it out or endure it.

Paul, do your vegetarian friends object to eating stuffing upon which a turkey wing has been cooked? i love cranberry chutney! A friend who loves to cook made it for a Friendsgiving one year.

My mother always used stale bread--never store-bought bread cubes. As for other ingredients, I just remember egg, a little onion, parsley flakes, and a little milk to "wet it down." Plus, she always fried it before she stuffed it in the turkey.
