NATIONAL STUFFING DAY

November 21st is an ideal day for National Stuffing Day with Thanksgiving right around the corner. Since we are already thinking about the delicious turkey stuffing that is a traditional part of Thanksgiving dinner.

Some cooks choose to stuff the bird with crusts of bread, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Others prefer to prepare a similar dish alongside the turkey using the drippings to moisten the dish. Either way, each preparation is a personal preference or family tradition. The difference is the first is called a stuffing, but the latter is referred to as a dressing.

The usual turkey stuffing consists of bread cubes or crumbs combined with onions, celery, salt, and pepper. Further spices and herbs such as summer savory, sage, or poultry seasoning add flavor and variety. Other recipes add sausage, hamburger, tofu, oysters, egg, rice, apple, raisins, or other dried fruits.

NATIONAL GINGERBREAD COOKIE DAY

The third Thursday in November each year highlights the varied opportunities rural health offers and the benefits it brings to these modest hubs of economic vitality in the heartland.

Luck Be a Lady
Song by Frank Sinatra

They call you Lady Luck
But there is room for doubt
At times, you’ve had a very unlady-like way of running out
You’re on this date with me
The Pickens have been lush
And yet before this evening is over
You might give me the brush
You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you’ve ever been a lady to begin with, luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
How nice a dame you can be
I know the way you’ve treated other guys you’ve been with
Luck, be a lady with me
A lady doesn’t leave her escort
It isn’t fair, it isn’t nice
A lady doesn’t wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy’s dice
Let’s keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick me with me baby, I’m the fella you came in with
Luck, be a lady tonight
Luck, let a gentleman see
Just how nice, how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you’ve treated other guys you’ve been with
Luck be a lady with me
A lady doesn’t leave her escort
It isn’t fair, and it’s not nice
A lady doesn’t wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy’s dice
So let’s keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I’m the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady, tonight

@shoelady60,

Good evening we are chilly in OZ tonight and will have a hard freeze in the morning.
Lady we made the same main dish I made boneless skinless chicken in the oven and it
was so good I had backed potatoes and a salad hubby ate it up when he got home from
work. 💕

Poppy wanted a piece so I gave him a small piece.

Well the holidays are about to start and so many of us will be doing this and that. 😎

I will have one of the treats with you who cares I can always walk it off. LOL! 😘

Sweet dreams💕

@oodiebom,

I love hearing about those trips. 😎💕🎈Good Times. Oz is chilly tonight and
we will have a hard freeze in the morning.

Also trash and recyclables will be at curb early. I have to make sure the cats are feed.
I gave a little extra food tonight to make sure they stay warm. The weather is cray cray
it will be warm for three next week and maybe some snow on Thanksgiving. 💕

My daughter’s friend lives on a farm in Vermont. I have pictures and it is a beautiful area.

Oodieom on the road again. 🎶🎶
