MEMORIES

 


There are only a few Thanksgiving pictures in my collection to prove I’ve celebrated the holiday.  Here’s one with an unsliced turkey.  This is also the year that I dropped the salt cellar into the dressing.  Didn’t I tell you that story?

 

I always loved my grandmother’s turkey stuffing.  I was never able to duplicate it tho. 
This year, I did the usual; Torn up dried white bread, minced celery and onion, sage, chicken broth, and lots of butter.  Just a little salt too, except this year the top came off the salt shaker.  All that salt went right into the stuffing.  I tried to get it all out without losing too much bread, but I knew I wasn’t successful.   I baked it, served it, and golly gosh, the moment I tasted it, I knew I had duplicated gramma’s stuffing at last.

  4. Salt, the secret ingredient. Our dressing is much the same from my grandmother, white bread, cornbread, onions, celery, sage, parsley, butter, eggs, and bacon. We gathered at my daughter's house. I hope you had a lovely day.

  5. Oh, that's a funny dressing/salt story! Has been a few years now since I've stuffed a bird.
