    I tried this stuffing that Costco had but found it too salty for my taste.

    We like the Aldi offerings better. Brioche stuffing. Packages are wtg household-sized

      Sharon is working on stuffing next.

      I’ve been making ridiculous quantities of sourdough bread that will surely feature prominently. Most of my output goes to my nieces in law who rip chunks off of it before I even get in the door and devour it like angry jackals. Good ones and bad ones - it’s gone in no time at all.

      Does my heart good!

        When I made it myself I used the ATK recipe which calls for a Pepperidge Farm bread, maybe the Country? Buttermilk? You cut it up into cubes and dry it in the oven and then make the stuffing. I used it in the Julia Child deconstructed turkey recipe. You just throw it in a large roasting pan and put the deconstructed turkey on the top. Pretty mindless but it does require an oven, which your slow cooker recipe does not.

        Homemade sourdough sounds lovely.

          It is! I make a loaf or two every day or two, and after figuring out the basic Tartine method no two loaves are made the same way twice. Some work, most don’t, and the jackals care not one bit about crumb or crust. They devour it like they haven’t eaten in days.

          Part of it is my new basement kitchen, now with stereo sound and a TV. It’s my happy place and I don’t care if we get 49 feet of snow or none at all. That’s where you’ll find me.

          Next up - sourdough discard dog treats - now with more pumpkin!

            Have you gotten into sourdough discard crackers? I bought a little cutter that makes them into nacho shaped-crackers.

            They come in a bunch of different shapes:

              Haven’t messed with crackers yet. I did make a few loaves of soft, fluffy discard sandwich bread.

              They came out well, if I may say so myself

                I like to smoke a deconstructed turkey. Everything comes out juicy and tender.

                That said, the traditional T day dinner is my least favorite meal to cook. More trouble than it’s worth and more food than we should eat.

                  I smoked a whole turkey one year. It was quite an undertaking. Came out great!

                  Gravy, however, was problematic.

                    Julia Child’s giblet gravy is prepared in advance.

                      Mrs. Miller will never allow a giblet in her kitchen.

                      Ever.
