Today is NATIONAL STUFFING DAY

November 21 is the perfect day to celebrate National Stuffing Day as Thanksgiving day is right around the corner and we are already thinking about the delicious turkey stuffing that is a traditional part of Thanksgiving dinner.

While cooking (specifically for poultry), stuffing (also known as dressing or filling) is a mixture, often a starch, used to fill a cavity in another food item. However, there are many foods that are prepared stuffed such as different meats, vegetables, eggs and etc.

The typical turkey stuffing consists of bread cubes or crumbs combined with onions, celery, salt and pepper along with spices and herbs such as summer savory, sage or poultry seasoning. Other varieties include adding sausage, hamburger, tofu, oysters, egg, rice, apple, raisins or other dried fruits.

The first known documented stuffing recipes appeared in the Roman cookbook, Apicius “De Re Coquinaria”. Most of the stuffing recipes in this cookbook included vegetables, herbs and spices, nuts and spelt (an old cereal) with some of them also including chopped liver and other organ meat.

In addition to stuffing the body cavity of poultry and fish, various cuts of meat are often stuffed once deboned and having a pouch or slit cut in them. A few examples of other meats that are frequently stuffed include: stuffed pork chops, stuffed meatloaf, stuffed meatballs, stuffed chicken breast, stuffed lamb chops and stuffed beef tenderloin.

Popular vegetables that are prepared stuffed include, but are not limited to, are: tomatoes, peppers, zucchini and cabbage.

Happy National Stuffing Day!

Bondja o!

Mmmmm, stuffing - the countdown is on! Meanwhile, looks like it's gonna warm up for the weekend - tomorrow we will finally break the streak of 12 days in a row below freezing (2nd all-time longest November streak). Mojo to those out east who have been buried by snow - Tommy is probably delighted that he didn't take a cruise to Buffalo.

Enjoy your Friday, Gurus!

morning guys.....leaving after school to head toward old hometown. BIL's moms' funeral tomorrow, wake service tonight. Weather is looking pretty good, so, I think we'll take the Corvette. It hasn't been out much in the last month, and, it does have heated seats. Just have to be careful about the summer tires, they won't have a lot of grip in the colder weather.

Sorry for your loss Tom......just keep your nannies on they will protect you....right? How heavy are those cabinets? Are we going to have a tough time wrangling them into the back of my pickup? I will try to bring someone strong if they are.....I'm older now you know....

Very busy here with business....will fill you in later...

Have a good day Guru's....

Weather today fog
my dog is recovering and this is fun day at school

Good Morning CGs!

At my folks' house waiting for the moving truck to arrive. Big move is happening and the old house is being sold. Lots of action in a short period of time. It will be hectic but worth it when it settles down.

Steve, glad the pooch is better.

TB - sorry to hear about your loss.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Thanks folks...she was a really nice lady. I've known her since I was in high school. She led a long a fruitful life. BIL was a friend long before he was a BIL.

Marcus, the cabinet is not so heavy that we can't man-handle them. I lay them down and pick them up by myself, so together, we will be able to move them from one to the other.

Ok good.....is the plan still for Wed next at or around noon...?

Yes, but I'll let you know when I leave and I'll let you know as we progress. It is normally about four hours drive for us in the car to Salina. Pulling the trailer might be a little slower.
