Dressing?

[SouthernBelle]

Not clothes this time. The kind you eat.

I'm a southern girl so I hafta have my cornbread dressing (or stuffing).

I was raised in Chicago on white bread dressing. I moved to Arkansas at 11 and learned to love cornbread dressing. My kids know no other kind and rarely like it when I make it from white bread. So, cornbread dressing for us!

I grew up in Peru, so stuffing for the turkey (at Christmas... not Thanksgiving celebration) is Spanish style and based on ground meat with onions, olives, raisins, hard boiled eggs, garlic, cumin... I cannot tell you how shocking it was the first time I saw soggy bread on the table rather than what I understood as stuffing.

Mom insists on keeping Thanksgiving traditional (for us) so it's the little bags of cubes. This year I bought french bread cubes, I'll make your basic onion, celery, bread, sage dressing.

Now, at Christmas I get to go all out. I found a wild & brown rice, with dried apricots, pine nuts and other stuff I'm going to make. Unlike my mother, I love doing untraditional things when I cook.

I am not a big fan of it. But my dh does so for him I make it. I who love to make things from scratch have not made stuffing. Maybe that is why I don't care for it? Anyway.... I got some this year that I reallly liked it was from Trader Joe's. I highly recommend it!

I love traditional white bread stuffing (celery, sage, onion...)!! I could eat it every day, even if it's crappy stove top.

DH also likes those little bags of cubes.

I prefer a wild rice and sausage stuffing my mom used to make.

First you make a cornbread, in a cast iron skillet. Turn out and let cool and dry out overnight....

But Pll - yours sounds really tasty!

Anyone ever had a Turducken? Better bought than trying to prepare one at home. Debone a turkey, a duck, and a chicken, but leave the leg bones in the turkey. Stuff the chicken with your favorite stuffing/dressing, stuff this inside the duck, and stuff the whole thing inside the turkey. Tie together with string. Roast.

don't like it, don't make it, don't eat it...

Chestnuts. Mmmmmmmmm. They are enough of a PITA that it only happens once a year, but man, it's worth it!

I think I've only tasted cornbread once, way back in highschool cooking class.

[sundial]

I make old fashioned southern dressing with yellow cornbread and biscuits.

[SouthernBelle]

A while back they were making cornbread on one of those PBS cooking shows. I was appalled. It had flour and sugar in it. They cautioned it wasn't traditional Southern cornbread. I was going, "No s%#@!"

Paula Dean is about to make a turducken right now.

OMG!!! The oil from the duck keeps the turkey meat from drying out. but still its soo much work. When you debone the duck, chiken and turkey you do not want to cut it open. So when its deboned its like a tube. I think its easier to stuff the duck in turkey first then the chicken then the stuffing last.

too too much work. besides I'm not on Atkin diet.

I may not do the turkey this year. I might just butterfly open a cornish game hen. and pan roast with weight over it. Not sure which sauce I want to make... Besides, my home oven is kaputts. not doing the deep frying of turkey or roasting on our outdoor grill. Gallons of hot oil scare the heck out of me.
