    Stuffing the Turkey

    I'd read that stuffing the turkey with the traditional breading was a bad idea, because the breading pulls all the moisture out of the meat and you end up with a dry bird. For years now, we've been stuffing the turkey with slices of onion and apple, some carrots, sage, and some celery leaves...

    Egg night?

    Anyone else have to have "egg night" and use up accumulated eggs for dinner? The kids voted for french toast, and my wife and I had omlets. We might need to have a couple more "egg nights" this week just to free up some fridge space!

I still get about 10 fake internet warnings, chain mails that will kill a kitten if you don't forward them to 30 people, and all sorts of crap every week. I can take it...
