I am planning the type of recipe I will use for my Thanksgiving stuffing. I usually cook the entire holiday meal except for dessert. However this year I am a guest and was assigned stuffing and salad. So I’m thinking cornbread stuffing with sausage, green apples and pecans. For the salad I will use arugula and watercress as a base with chopped roasted chestnuts in a lemon-olive oil dressing.

never heard of using green apple and pecans in the stuffing before. could be real good.
I'm just going traditional with bread stuffing and oysters.

The tartness of the green apple is a good counter balance to the richness of the sausage and pecans. I hope! 🤞
 
That's fancy stuffing! I'm assuming it actually doesn't go into the turkey, right?

I believe today is US thanksgiving, so have a good one, those who celebrate. When I taught, one of the big shots in the school board was an American immigrant who had come up in the late Sixties/early seventies. He always managed to schedule in house training days so he could enjoy his holiday. Until he retired, I was really aware of US thanksgiving as it was a good breather before the pre-Christmas madness.

I don't miss that school week leading up to December 25th.
 
having dinner with youngest granddaughter, age 10. All daughters had plans, so we will have the family meal on Saturday at one of their houses, but for now Viv and her cousins helped me buy winter hardy flowers and plant them, and she and my youngest grandson helped me dig the grass out of a planned bed so I could get my Texas Sage and Rosemary in the ground yesterday, now the other 2 are off with their mom to a gathering. We made Breakfast burritos yesterday, today will cook a smoked turkey leg and sweet potatoes and maybe pickup a pumpkin pie at the grocery store in a few minutes. And Viv and I will sew and watch "Bones" marathon.
 
Surprise, I'm working on a bow while waiting for the turkey to cook. This is a hickory recurve with an experimental backing made of dogbane fiber. Hoping to maybe get an arrow through it this weekend; possibly even today!

Please don't dress up as Cupid to test that. If you do, no photos.

The stuffing is coming out of the oven right after this post. It smells quite good. It will travel along with the salad to east LA where dinner awaits.
