Thankgiving was at a SIL's. Hubs smoked two turkeys and a ham on our grill, and I made Cranberry-Walnut Salsa which needs to be done a day before. There I was Thanksgiving Day not cooking. Drove me nuts. Made a pan of marshmallow-cream fudge in an attempt to preserve my sanity.
Next year, I'm baking a pie or something, whether or not it's needed. Or maybe I'll do the dressing -- SIL did it in two double-deep 9"x13" foil pans and you could damnear drink it. I've got Granny's and Great-Grandma's cast-iron skillet. My dressing crunches dammit. Even if I have to do it in two rounds to get enough dressing for us all, it'll be worth it.
One Thanksgiving, a friend and I made about 6 different types of stuffing - just little pans - to see what we liked best. And, basically, we both liked best what we grew up with :) But it was very fun

I really dislike eating other people's Holiday food.
ReplyDeletei only had myself and the four kids, but the dressing was perfect!
Go home and make some. It's the only thing that will make it right.

Stuffing/dressing is a very personal thing.
