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 ...
... 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.
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.
And the rest of the food. But it was the family more than the food.
I wish I could go back.
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 ...

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.
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!
Can't mess with tradition. Family members get their "tasters" ready all year.Joanimaroni wrote:I'm interested but I have to prepare my grandmother and mom's cornbread dressing. Very little sage.

My family looks forward to the dressing.
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.

I pass on NOTHING. I should but....ZVUGKTUBM wrote: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.
We like the fried turkey....but it is missing the giblet gravy.Ghost Rider wrote:When I do cook a turkey I always deep fry it.

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.

The gravy can be made separately. That is what we do.Joanimaroni wrote:We like the fried turkey....but it is missing the giblet gravy.Ghost Rider wrote:When I do cook a turkey I always deep fry it.
