Dressing?

[SouthernBelle]

Y'all, there's a reason she called it dressing . . . . 'cause it ain't stuffing!

When i was a child Momma fixed (that's right, she didn't cook it- she fixed it) Chicken and Dressing- she would boil a big baking hen- more breast meat- fix a washtub (literally) of dressing- mostly cornbread, a few slices of lightbread, leftover biscuits, etc- broth from the chicken, poultry seasoning, sage, eggs, onion, and then put the chicken into the pan of dressing- not stuff anything into the bird.

Ya know, in 52 years of holidays, I don't remember ever eating any that was cooked stuffed in the bird. My aunt's might have been. But I don't remember it if it was.

I still fix supper. That's supper, not dinner.
