When I made some dressing, there was lots of celery and onions, almost 1/2 of the ingredients with fresh mushrooms. Butter was the key to the taste. Instead of "chicken broth",
I used the liquid from chicken noodle soup.

One could add a finely chopped rhutabega/turnip to dressing if they happened to have one in their shed.

time to go make the cornbread . i had a hard work week and im a bit tired but im all about this gd ham stuffing .

those at the forestry have been too cheap to give me a 20 cent an hour helper . ( freedom challenged ) .

do they really think this will work ?

explains the absurd employee turnover ..

cappy aint civil on the best day .. stop the gd presses on one of the worst ones ..

Cap I have to want something really bad to pay full price for it, I'm always willing to do without until there is a sale. Unfortunately my little town only has two grocery stores and one of them is geared toward people with more money than sense so some of their sale prices are still higher than I'm willing to pay, especially when I can easily compare them to prices available in the next town. The gas money is worth it if you are saving $20 or more.

i read a ' cracked magazine ' article this am about the horrid farce that IS what we eat . its all corn syrup .
pink dyed - tank raised salmon , glued together beef products , plumped chickens , glued together fish byproducts , " honey " from china ( do you need an explanation of that " ? , completely fake spices , bread that can contain up to 70 % fibre ( think shredded , clearcut trees ) , and lots of soybeans . i live in central indiana . i can take a drive and all i see is people , corn , and soybeans . i think our supermarkets are filled with at least two of those items . oh , and i guess you can still buy sardines from the inchon bay in korea ( think human sht runoff ) ..

it isnt funny and recently the FDA decided that even less disclosure is needed . our government should be held to a higher standard . i cant get antibiotics for the flu because we are overusing them , but the meat producers can feed them by the semi load .

actually im in a pretty good mood today but this subject is scary even on a ' best ' day .

LOL,
the savalot manager dont hate me but he dont like me either . i come in weekly for the one sale item -- and a bunch of it .

so ham was .79 a lb ?

milk crammed up to 3 . 39 , coffee is in cans too small to even see , etc , etc . the friggin chicken eggs look like they came from doves , and so on . the gd bread is suddenly 1.29 and frankly it wasnt worth the price when it was . 89 ..

i dont like games but if i have to play , im playing to win .

well , at least i aint playing to lose .. he can win one every now and then ..

eh ,
ya know how things dont always go as planned ?

yea , there are no more cheap ranges over there but it isnt going to stop me from making ham / cornbread dressing . im pressure cooking a whole shank ham because whatever i do with it -- its still not cooked to near tender .

im gonna put a can of whole kernel corn in the dressing . even the lady who wrote this particular recipe admitted that ' recipes are lame ' but for the people who think they need one -- heres the gist of it ...

imo -- celery seed . thats where the flavor is at . mushroom bits wouldnt have hurt it but im still boycotting the . 69 cent per can . they can put on a rubber glove and cram em -- one bit at a time .

im gonna go over to the salvage place and see if they have any more of the rangetops like i previously bought . theyre little 2 burner apartment units and were only 20 bucks each . then i plan to come home and make ham / cornbread dressing . the recipe i read said its a main course , dont need anything else .

i got too much water in my stovetop switches and fried them . they burn but dont regulate . total bummer .

Turkey and stuffing sounds so good. I can’t remember the last decent meal I cooked, but I don’t remember things these days. I think spaghetti and meatballs. Good enough.

Dear Friends,

Merry Christmas! I haven't been back in a while but happy to see so many familiar names still.  I want to express my deep appreciation to all the kind messages I received when I was grieving for my dad. So grateful for this community.

Looking forward to having turkey and stuffing and any and all sides.:-)

Take care all! All the best for 2020!

Today Christmas Day I wish all Members of agingcare.com a very happy & peaceful and a Holy Christmas, with Health & Luck for 2020. Today in Ireland Families will enjoy turkey stuffed with Potatoe mash & ham, brussel sprouts and potatoes & gravy with beautiful spring water to drink, or wine, and some
opt for beer. Me I prefer milk but it's a day for You to choose. I love early morning Mass on Christmas morning with a visit to the crib at Our local Presentation Convent where sadly We have got only eight very elderly Presentation Sisters left. Few will ever acknowledge the great work that these
great Nuns have done in Nursing, and Teaching, and in the Mission Fields far across the World and We will miss Them when they are gone from Us. Have a lovely day y'all and take great care.
-John

Captain,
Beans are super good anytime. Good fiber, nutrients and very filling.
We use to cook on and in our fireplace, still do if the electric goes out. Definitely have to have a good constant fire for beans though.
You can take one of your hams and turn it into chili verde, in a crockot. Put it on a fresh homemade flour tortilla, with some cheese.Or eat it like a burrito with all the fixings and such.

Captain,
I eat peanut butter sometimes for breakfast on toast, with some walnuts sprinkled. But I am not so much of a PB fan that I eat it by itself out of the jar.

Lasagna, black bean salad, garlic bread, garden salad, chocolate cobbler with vanilla bean ice cream.

I had the same except I made me just cheese lasagna, and I had a bit of the chocolate cobbler no ice cream.
The first time I have gotten to eat a real meal in 5 days. Yay!!

Christmas Eve buffet with my deceased husband’s family. Traditional lobster bake with lobster, corn, potato’s, clams, mussels. I made a seafood gratin and a salad. Plus lots of other side dishes, salads and desserts. Still have midnight mass and family gifts. Tomorrow Morning Santa, breakfast and big Christmas dinner. We’re thankful no one is sick so far this year. I have dialysis tomorrow, but that’s my new normal.

Well today was Christmas at our house as I work tomorrow. So we had turkey and ham and all the trimmings. Hubs did all the cooking and it was wonderful. We had the two of us, fil, hubs cousin and a neighbor from the river house.. and DD did make it over, but she slept most of the day in her old room ( my current private TV room,, I;m not going in there for a few days.. LOL ) .. she only managed to eat a small amount, and kept a 3 foot gap around herself and everyone else., LOL So hopefully no one will get sick. But at least her fever is gone and she is no longer living in the bathroom. She will come over while I am at work Thursday and hubs will load her stuff into her car. We really did have a nice time, although no one in our house ( or DD) slept last night.. puppy issues on our end. And FIL nodded off about every 15 minutes, but he is 97 so I am ok with that. Now if I sleep tonight,, tons of food already in my truck to take for work dinner tomorrow!
