ROFL! Crash has a yearning for shrimp in the dressing. The ooky look
on my face has convinced him that this might not be the best course of
action. My ex-sister put shrimp in one year and he really liked it.
We're gonna add chopped pecans instead.

Thanksgiving is a special day. There's lots of food. Why not have some
of each?

Hmmmm... That gives me an idea, thanks!
I quit making bread stuffing ages ago.
Now I make a brown and wild rice concoction instead,
using many of the same herbs and spices (including sage)
that one uses in bread dressing.

Some large cocktail shrimp would go well in there,
along with the usual sliced mushrooms. :-)

Thanks for the concept!

Pecans are not gonna be a good substitute for shrimp. (If you can't put
shrimp in some of the dressing, maybe you can serve shrimp cocktail?)

Gads. Not only does it not count as green, it isn't a vegetable nor
something that should ever be put on a TG table, in my opinion. LOL.
I'm just being a [censored], I know.

It has pineapple and maraschino cherries. Therefore, it is a fruit
salad.

Dressing is the process of putting on dat Dress. Stuffing is what ends
up inside it.

Are you saying that Carol is stuffed into her dress?

I thought he was implying that her charms are not all real 🙂

I'm shocked that you would think so, you, you, you Trollop, you!

Excellent point! And since we using dressing instead of stuffing,
it'll be easy to dump some shrimp into his. S'pose I should leave the
tails and shells on for textural interest?

Hey, Chickiebabe, I have missed you on Parenting. How's your little
peanut? Fun Halloween?
-L.

I've been popping in there every now and then, but in lurk mode...

Rayna's doing great. Had a fun Halloween and enjoyed ToT for the very
first time, even though it was rainy and cold here that night (wish it
were cold now--time for summer to be over already!). She made a pretty
darn cute cat.

How's J doing? Have the "terrific twos" gotten any better lately?

We returned from Maui a week ago. Things have been busy, and I'm still
labeling the pics I uploaded. I'll send you the link as soon as I do!
(And please send me pics of J!! I always love to see them!)

Heresy, absolute heresy! Are you daring to post that you don't fix
canned green beans with canned "fried" onions on top?

It's a tradition for us to get those frozen green peas with the little
white onions. We never eat those any other time.

We've had asparagus soup a few times.

I like to make cauliflower with cheese sauce. It's not green, of
course, but it's good. I'm always blown away at the end of the meal to
see that there isn't any left. There are only five of us, and I do a
whole head.

ROFLMAO!!!! And I always thought that their textures and flavors were
nearly interchangable.

He's calming down a bit but cracking me up more and more every day. I
had him take a shower with me yesterday and he kept saying "I showder,
I shower" Just too dang cute! I am finding that some days are better
than others.

think that's next on our list.

The main
reason I don't make dressing instead of stuffing the bird is because my oven
isn't big enough to hold the 20# turkey as well as the pan of dressing.

I know someone who rolls up dressing in tinfoil, and cooks it like
that. You can stuff your little foil packets into the spare corners in
the oven.

A bonus is that the round dressing rolls, after refrigeration, slice
up real nice for sandwiches.

My mom's side of the family has:

Is it just me or does anyone else find potato salad at TG strange? I
liken it to picnic food, not pilgrim food.
And why don't people eat any green veggies on TG instead of all that
starch or starchy veggies?! I just don't get it?
Goomba

We do have green food, too! Coleslaw, green beans, some crudite on
the relish tray.

As far as the potato salad goes, don't ask me. That's what We've
Always Had.

Interesting -- is it crunchy on the outside and moist inside?

I've never had a dressing sandwich. And since my blood sugar
has been really funky lately, I probably won't anytime soon. It
does sound good though...

So, what do the rest of you do with the bread stuff you make for
Thanksgiving? (I'll just plug my ears when people start talking about
corn bread or oysters) 😉

MMM ? Do you not eat cornbread at all? ? Yummy especially warm with honey and a
big plate of ribs and cole slaw... I really don't taste that much of a
difference cornbread or white bread stuffing/dressing wise. I found that the
corn bread version needed to be "wetter" to start to get the same level as white
bread based ones or it did tend to be a little drier.

I turned my nose at oyster stuffing for a long time as well, same with fruit
and/or nut versions. The oyster one is still a limited amount and I'm good, but
the fruit/nut versions I tend to prefer now.

I bake the dressing while the turkey rests, is carved and gravy is made.
By the time we're done with all that, the dressing is finished baking.

I wasn't raised eating turkey. We always had a roasted capon for
Thanksgiving. I don't really like turkey, but acquiesce to roasting a

Thats sorta my position, I acquiesce to certain "family traditions" to keep the
peace. I am the black sheep of the bunch due to my work which makes holidays
just another day out there. Chicken rates right behind turkey in that I very
rarely cook it, and its just not on my food radar for eating, beef is my
preferred meat of choice.

I allow turkey served this one time a year. I am going to do my full court press
again this year for duck for the december holiday meal v. another turkey or ham.
I will settle for some thing along the lines of a pork loin or something, and as
soon as I find a recipe for a cranberry orange marinated pork loin. An ad I saw
had one pre made, but I figure I can make better. I may just let them cook what
they want if its turkey or ham and make my own duck to go with the sides they
make.

dressing, but I only make (and prefer) cornbread dressing. I don't like
oysters, and would not eat them in any kind of dressing. Although I like
sausage, I don't care for it in dressing. Just seems wrong. :-)

Oysters are OK, just not my thing. I won't eat mountains of it like I would
other dressing/stuffing. As for sausage I think I have to disagree I love it.
See theres another option....now another choice added to the mix.

What size shrimp? ?? ? Hmmmm..... I kinda like the idea...... As long as the
shrimp were not too big and in good proportion I could probably go for this. May
have to experiment with a little batch.

OK, any one who wants to have a Stuffing/Dressing Buffet let me know so I can
save you a spot in line. As it looks like I may have quite a variety this year.
🙂 Just can not decide......

Since we will be having a 13-1400 "turkey dinner" I was planning on having some
appetizers (mozzarella sticks, batter mushrooms and onion petals) and a shrimp
ring as part of the snacks in the late afternoon/ealy evening (18-1900) and
turkey sandwiches/leftovers for a light meal for the movie viewing.
