Stuffing

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone... and with it, stuffing.

I used to detest stuffing. Nothing seemed more unappetizing to me than a mix of chestnuts, bread, celery, and assorted other ingredients, all cooked inside a turkey. Obviously, those things shouldn't go together. They even look bad- all brown and mushed together. However, when I finally got up the nerve to taste, my opinion changed completely.

At my house, we always make a Midwestern stuffing- that is, with chestnuts, bread, and celery. I've never had cornbread stuffing, or any of the other kinds. I don't like the idea of cornbread and sausage stuffing. Why would you want to put more meat inside a turkey? Too close to turducken, if you ask me. Anyway, our stuffing recipe comes from a 1994 edition of Bon Apetit magazine, and it's amazing. There's nothing better.

Since I discovered the joys of stuffing, I feel like I have to make up for all the years I didn't eat it. The best way to eat stuffing is warm and liberally covered with gravy. Cold with gravy comes in a close second, with plain coming in third. Any way you eat it, there's no doubt it's delicious.

Well... I didn't expect this

I know I got tired of blogging after only 2 months, but I decided to check up on how the pageviews on the blog were doing and I'm absolutely blown away. 75 pageviews in November, without  a new blog post in months! If I'm getting that much traffic, maybe I'll start back up again, considering it is Thanksgiving and there's so much to talk about...
