There used to be some pretty heated discussions about stuffing - some people think if it ain't cornmeal, it ain't stuffing! It was always interesting seeing what were the traditional components of a Thanksgiving dinner in the various parts of the country.

Thankfully we don't have that problem in our house. I stuff the turkey with apples, onions and celery, and serve mass quantities of cornbread dressing on the side!

I am not sure I understand what people see in dressing. It's all brown mush to me!

I actually don't follow politics toooo much...I'd go nuts if I did. It's frustrating, though...this county is pretty conservative, but the laws and elections are pretty much controlled by a few counties in the state, mostly populated by "flat-landers" (many of whom are originally from Teddy's stomping grounds) rather than real Vermonters.

Every time I hear something about Howard Dean wanting to run for president, I have to bite my tongue.

MBNA All American Heroes 400 at Dover.

So you are a NASCAR fan. My co-worker's boyfriend is taking her to Talladega next month. Can you believe that? They've only been going out for about three months. He works for Northwest Airlines and gets flying privileges. We are trying to get interest stirred up for an engagement pool. Things are getting serious, fast... I'm not much of a NASCAR fan, myself, but I can understand the appeal.

Which leads to the other argument...if it doesn't actually go in the turkey, the proper name, I guess, is dressing...but my family has always called it stuffing anyway. The turkey was always "stuffed" with just an onion, some celery, and butter, and the "stuffing" never saw the inside of a turkey!

I'd have to transpose it first. Several notes are below the range of my whistles.

How about these? The Cat That Ate the Candle, The Cat's Jig. And here's Cat's Meow.

Very nice piece and nicely played. This technology is so amazing to me. I'm still can't believe it. You actually played that and downloaded it to the net....that is just amazing!

I just recorded The Fair Haired Child that I learned in honor of my 3 year old.

That was just lovely, 2JM! You're breath control is wonderful! My daughter wants to know what kind of whistle you're playing there. I bought her a fife when we went to Concord earlier this year, but she hasn't figured out how to make the sounds yet.

Fifes are very hard to play from what I understand. Get her a whistle! Click here for a good place to start. It's where OT got her first whistle, btw.

Is that on the JC Tune Finder site? I'll have to do that one. Her Majesty is mostly black.

Ooh! I like it...took me awhile to get to it since my system didn't want to open the link directory and I had to go under the files folder in MustardSeeds. Very nice playing! It's a neat tune...kind of "old" sounding, in my opinion.

the "stuffing" never saw the inside of a turkey!

Everytime I read about stuffing, they are always warning about making sure the interior of the turkey has reached a certain temperature or you should throw the stuffing out. Well if you're going to throw it out, why spend any time on it?

I do a mushy cornbread dressing. My Mama always baked hers so it was stiff and she served giblet gravy with it to soften it. Sir SuziQ's mom cooked hers on top of the stove so it was mushy. I started doing it like my MIL, but cook it in a crock pot to keep it from burning on the bottom, so it is a wonderful flavor and texture; smooth from the mushy cornbread and a little bit crunchy from the onions and celery. A perfect complement to the slightly fruit tinged flavor of the turkey. I made some dressing last week with an oven stuffer roaster. Our oldest was home from college for the weekend, and it is his favorite food!

Yes, that's where I found it!

I don't think there are any tunes specifically for color-pointed cats (or dachshunds!)...does that mean I have to WRITE some??
