... my grandma's white bread stuffing recipe.
Sooo much better than sage or cornbread stuffing.
If you've never had it, the preparation is quite bizarre.
You lay out your white bread slices a couple of days before making it, so the bread gets good and stale.
Then, while you're preparing the ingredients, your soak the stale bread in salt water and wring it out, so that you're left with gooey dough balls.
Every time I make it, I think to myself midway through, "this can't be right".
But it turns out and it is DELICIOUS.
I'll dig up the recipe if you're interested.

I'm interested but I have to prepare my grandmother and mom's cornbread dressing. Very little sage. Cornbread, day old bisquits, celery, onion, eggs, ritz crackers and chicken broth.Sal wrote:No contest ...

This Thanksgiving will be special for us. For the first time in years, we'll be spending Thanksgiving with both the kids.
Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and the usual stuff is on the menu.
Sal, that's interesting. Speaking of bread, one thing I love is bread pudding but I don't think anyone else in my family would eat it.
I'll be making corn bread dressing, like Joani.

That heavenly oyster dressing my aunt made in Panama City at Thanksgiving.
And the rest of the food. But it was the family more than the food.
I wish I could go back.

My grandmother made cornbread dressing and oyster dressing. I remember it was the same as cornbread drsg but she added the oysters and the oyster juice.Bob wrote:That heavenly oyster dressing my aunt made in Panama City at Thanksgiving.

Sweet potatoes with tons of browned marshmellows. I would always scoop all the marshmellows. I could just eat sweet potatoes and browned and melted marshmellows and white meat from a turkey breast. However, I could also wait five hours for the cold turkey sandwich, again with white meat, and microwaved sweet potatoes.
The leftover meal later Thanksgiving day is the best.

I have had white bread dressing and my hand me down recipe for cornbread dressing is a winner by a mile. I just cannot acquire a taste for white bread dressing.Sal wrote:No contest ...

Sorry Sal, but I just cannot handle any kind of dressing except cornbread. We do not celebrate the holidays, but we do have these types of fixins' a couple times year.

I always make a combination bread and cornbread dressing. I agree with Bob...oyster dressing is incredible. Fresh cranberry sauce. Gotta have sweet potatoes...sometimes I do the marshmallow thing, but I like them plain, with a little butter and salt. A mountain of mashed potatoes...an ocean of gravy. Those little dinner rolls. Sometimes a ham. Uh oh...I'm hungry.

A big turkey.
Taters and gravy.
Stuffing.
Black and green olives (I wish they would fit over my finger tips like they did when I was a kid).
My Mom's marinated vegetable recipe.
Pie (I will need to break my sugar fast on that day).
The wife usually also makes green-bean casserole, but I really don't care for that.
Dang, I am hungry for it all right now. The best part is eating leftovers for several days afterward.
Edited: Oh, and my wife will also do sweet potatoes, but I also pass on those.

And, the day after Thanksgiving, for breakfast I will have everything I ate the day before during the main meal, and I will do the same for dinner.
Oh, and the smells that waft through the house as the turkey is cooking...... Dang, Joanie, I am glad you started this thread. I wasn't thinking much about Thanksgiving before I read this thread, but now I am looking forward to it!

I miss my mom at Thanksgiving. Every year we had to make our Thanksgiving menu and grocery list. We did this the first week of November. It didn't matter that the menu was the same every year. It never changed lol.....but writing down the menu was tradition.ZVUGKTUBM wrote:And, the day after Thanksgiving, for breakfast I will have everything I ate the day before during the main meal, and I will do the same for dinner.

When I do cook a turkey I always deep fry it. I like it oven baked, but like deep fried a bit more.ZVUGKTUBM wrote:And, the day after Thanksgiving, for breakfast I will have everything I ate the day before during the main meal, and I will do the same for dinner.

This is the little country church we always went to on Thanksgiving. My great-grandfather and great uncle designed and built it. The feast was in the parish hall (building you can barely see), with booths in the courtyard and skeet shooting on the back lot. Surrounded by family...some came from other states just to be there. Bingo in the back of the hall. Always great food. Happy times.
My great grandfather...Ignatius Loyola Underbrink

Leftovers are almost better than the meal itself. I LOVE cold turkey sandwiches with cold stuffing and even cranberry sauce.

My Mom's marinated vege recipe was one she picked up from a friend in the mid 1960s. It afterward became a tradition during holidays, and I got her to copy the recipe down for me in the late 70s. I still have the recipe card, in her own handwriting. My Mom passed in 1996.Joanimaroni wrote:I miss my mom at Thanksgiving. Every year we had to make our Thanksgiving menu and grocery list.

Tex,
I love the posting of your grandfathers picture and the church he helped design and build. I would love to see folks posting pictures of their grandparents and what they did during the thanksgiving season. I will have to see If I can get the scanner working and scan some photos and look at my daughter's family tree she did in eighth grade. Thanksgiving is the celebration of family and those who came before. I will start that thread in the next few days.

Part of Thanksgiving memories is to use my grandmother's Lisk 3 piece self basting roaster. The roaster is over 100 years old.....so old it is no longer the speckled color....it's black.
I cook a 21 - 22lb stuffed turkey @325° In the roaster, it cooks in 3 1/2hrs.
