Thanksgiving brings out the foodie in everyone

Everyone seems to be talking turkey this week. Have you seen the Turkey Cannon? By the way, I have to say that's a pretty forward-thinking product from a show that always makes me think of very old-fashioned ways of living.

The only other topic that has come up more than turkey seems to be stuffing. People all seem to have their favorite recipes for it. My spouse doesn't care for stuffing at all. And yet, each time someone else makes stuffing for him they assure him that he will love theirs. He never does. I think it's the sage that gets to him, but he also says he doesn't see the value of wet bread stuffed up a fowl's behind. I have to agree when it comes to wet stuffing. I like stuffing to be light and airy, almost as though someone broke up light toast and put it into the mixture at the last moment.

If you do happen to be adventurous with stuffing you can probably find one you like. There are recipes for it that contain everything from cheese to prunes.

Whether you indulge in a vegetarian feast or a brined bird with all the trimmings, I hope you enjoy this week of Thanksgiving. I'm especially mindful of our service people who may be far from home this week. We appreciate them more than words can say.

I'll be on a bit of a hiatus until next Monday.
