So Much Stuffing
Nov. 27th, 2024 03:18 pmI keep making slightly smaller batches of stuffing. Next year I'm only making HALF what the recipe I use calls for, and'll still have leftovers! I tend to forget that this recipe, from my step-dad, is for the large Tday & Bday gathering he and friends from college have held since the mid-1970s. Even with six (6) folks at Thanksgiving dinner o'morrow, we'll have plenty (plus leftovers).
Happy to have done all the chopping, sauteeing, mixing, and baking today. Tomorrow's just for roasting the turkey, making gravy, supervising the making of mashed potatos, de-canning cranberry sauce, reheating stuffing, and heating up rolls.
One friend's in charge of veg (not green beans, as she doesn't care for 'em, and not brussell sprouts as the BF doesn't like 'em). I said a salad would work. (If'n I decide at the last minute we NEED green veg, I'll nuke a packet or two of frozen peas.) Another friend's on pie duty. Another's bringing appetizers (meat & cheese & bread).
Today's gotten lovely out after a grey AM. The sun's shining. I've had xmas music blasting since 10am. I'm happy and smiling and thankful for so many good people in my life, as well as for the time and space to cook and have folks over and live a pretty darned good life.
