Where can I get this cookbook? I can't find it at Amazon.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
I don't supposed by any chance you remember that stuffing recipe you gave me last year? It was......something like..........Uncle Joe's Favorite........????? I made it for Christmas and it was a huge hit.............
This year we are "doing" Thanksgiving dinner here for hubby's family and I'd like to make that same stuffing again but I lost the recipe.:(
That sweet potato recipe looks good; I think I'll try that one....
Uncle Joe's Favorite Stuffing
This stuffing is for a big bird, not to be confused with stuffing"Big Bird", or as a side for any roast. It will easily stuff a 24 pound bird and have a little left over. If you are using a smaller bird, you can halve this recipe, or else freeze the extra. One of the best things about this stuffing is how well it freezes. Take any extra stuffing and place it in a foil lined casserole dish. Bake like normal and cool to room temperature. Freeze for a day or two. Remove your casserole dish and you will have a nice package of frozen stuffing for whenever you need it.
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle, or the ship; the axe had enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.

Happy Thanksgiving back at you.
As for strudel, I happen to know you have some wonderful recipes... LOL ?????????
Hungarian cucumber salad.... Come on... waiting... taping my fingers.... checking my watch.... hummmmming...grin
I make a family receipe dressing for holidays. My daughter in law calls it "a bread dressing"
We take fresh bread ..tear it into bite size pieces..then the bread it "wet" with water..then press out the "extra " water..
While we are doing that we cut bacon into small strips and cook slowly when almost finished we add chopped onions and celery and saute them . We add that to the moist bread..along with 2 eggs that have been beat to mix and salt, pepper,and poultry seasoning to taste.Mix well to coat all the bread ,then place in bird to cook...the remaining is placed in an oven proof bowl and baked for one hour at 350 before dinner..
We use a "standard" dressing most of the year..but this is in honor of my beloved German grand ma...it is moist and wonderful ..a sweet memory:>)
Hey big guy, what a great thread, link...Happy Thanksgiving.
