Thanks for all the comments....you guys are pretty cool. In the past couple days, I've tried to get away from my teenagers by just reading other blogs. BUT....after reading Trixie....Fuxsie....Cotton-bottom, or what ever she goes by these days, I've decided my teens aren't so bad.

Who wants a good stuffing? In order to get a good stuffing, let's talk about it first....kinda like foreplay if you will. Since next week is Thanksgiving, I thought I'd list a few ideas. Here is a basic recipe:
STUFF THIS
1 cup chopped celery, ½ cup chopped onion, ½ cup butter, 1 tsp poultry seas, 1 tsp crushed sage, 8-10 cups bread crumbs, 1 cup- a can of chicken broth, salt & pepper to taste.
Saute onions and celery in butter. Add seasonings. Place bread crumbs in large bowl, and pour mixture over them. Add broth to moisten. Stuff your bird or bake at 350 for about a half an hour. Check with a meat thermometer....165-170.
You can spice it up with what ever you like. I've tried spicy sausage, crumbled bacon, mushrooms and even oysters. Hey, if you don't have bread crumbs, you can use HI-HO crackers. Another idea is to play around with the spices.....if you like a little heat, add some hot sauce, worcestershire, and some creole seasoning.

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I'd like to give some thanks. Somewhere around forty, our eyesight starts to go downhill.... I know mine did. I need reading glasses now. When it first started happening to me, I couldn't believe it, as I always had great eyesight! I asked family and friends about it, and they all agreed.....they too needed reading glasses about the time they turned forty. I thought it was a cruel joke at first. But I've come to realize, when God closes a door, he opens a window.
Ya see, My wife needs reading glasses as well, she too is blind as a bat up close. Sooo while in bed, when we say our "sweet nothings" to each other, she's not seeing the real me. She sees that handsome, unwrinkled, non-haggard, single chinned man, she met years ago. THANK YOU GOD!
You got anything to be thankful for this year....or do you want to talk turkey?
