Stuffed and Sold ART!!!!

Yesterday was our Thanksgiving feast with family and friends. Once again I had relied upon my Joy of Cooking cook book for the stuffing recipe I have been making for years. I roasted chestnuts in my small counter top oven. I love them in the stuffing, but the work it takes to separate the meat from the shell is not an easy task. I still have one piece of shell wedged under my thumb nail.

Sauteed mushrooms and onions add a wonderful flavor...

and celery, parsley and more mushrooms go into the mix...

I prefer corn bread stuffing crumbs the best.

This 13 lb free range naked bird raised in a farm near where we live got stuffed and gave enough meat to feed 11 guests and we still have enough left over to feed a small army. You are all invited over for leftovers.

The stuffing inside the turkey is always the most moist and best in my opinion but there is always too much and I heat up the excess as well.

My design table became the buffet and three smaller tables became the guest seating. It looked, my daughter said, like a restaurant.

I think everyone had more than enough to eat and left feeling quite "stuffed!" Just like that turkey!
