Thanks for thinking of me and wish me luck. My house is currently a mess due to construction and I have been living at my mom's and mother-in-laws for the past few days. Don't know how I'll ever be ready for Thursday. Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00544942950541856409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503494355334157272.post-38592023801709517452008-11-21T10:24:00.000-05:002008-11-21T10:24:00.000-05:00Good to know about the turkey-sized bag, Deb.

We always end up with two different kinds ... one half of the family likes meat stuffing, one half prefers bread. I like 'em both, so yay for me! :)The Diva on a Diethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336939733516236525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503494355334157272.post-58252060923914401432008-11-19T22:09:00.000-05:002008-11-19T22:09:00.000-05:00They do make the bags big enough and sell them aro...They do make the bags big enough and sell them around this time of year.<BR/><BR/>Stuffing is pre seasoned bread stuffing in a bag and Jimmy Dean sage sausage in a tube and celery onions and chicken broth. I then usually add more poultry seasoning and throw it in the bird. My family believes you can never have too much stuffing so I make an obscene amount and nearly cover the stuffing end of the bird. So my bird is not so pretty as yours but boy does it stay moist and taste good.<BR/><BR/>DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503494355334157272.post-9916337753160106222008-11-19T15:46:00.000-05:002008-11-19T15:46:00.000-05:00Deborah - Oh how I needed that laugh, thank you! ...Deborah - Oh how I needed that laugh, thank you! The "appetizers" just about killed me. Love it! <BR/><BR/>Of course, it is true that the best and most tasty stuffing is that which has been stolen right out of the oven. This is a universal truth!<BR/><BR/>Deb - Do they make roasting bags large enough to fit a turkey?! I'm a fan of the bags too, especially for pot roast - but have never used them for the bird. Interesting. I'm curious to hear about your meat stuffing - I'll be discussing the husband's family's pork stuffing tomorrow. <BR/><BR/>Hektik - Honestly, roasting a turkey isn't difficult at all. Its all of the other sides, gravy, etc. that make the meal complicated. Good for you for helping out! Its fun to cook together and then enjoy the fruits of your labors. :)The Diva on a Diethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336939733516236525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503494355334157272.post-65091628647400021982008-11-18T12:26:00.000-05:002008-11-18T12:26:00.000-05:00>Diva: Why is turkey so damn hard to get right...>Diva: Why is turkey so damn hard to get right??? We may be spending our first Thanksgiving home without family this year so I feel for the work my wife will have to go through. She cooks daily so this will be more work for her.

I love those things and have used them for years along with the secret family meat stuffing - all adds up to my most favorite holiday that I too have been hosting for years (too mant to admit to)<BR/><BR/>DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503494355334157272.post-91635246396099561432008-11-17T20:20:00.000-05:002008-11-17T20:20:00.000-05:00Silly Diva, the point of basting is to give early ...Silly Diva, the point of basting is to give early access to the stuffing. One grabs a heaping forkful on one's way out of the oven, and then interested family members gather around the basting plate to enjoy it.
