Anyone need a new stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving? Found this in my grandmother's recipe box a few years ago - read to the end for a Thanksgiving day surprise. Context: my grandmother, born in 1903, was about 4'10" tall and a real worry wort. This was an unexpected window into her sense of humor.

From the archives: 8/31/68 Al Quie was the 1st district #congressman on this date.

In memoriam: My mother died in April but would have been 100 on August 1. She was a lifelong Republican voter who nonetheless supported reproductive healthcare choices. If you can spare $10 or $20 today, on my birthday, please support this organization in Atlanta which is striving to help women throughout the Southeast who need help with the choices they have made in a difficult environment.
