I knew we were soulmates since I like my stuffing dry, too. I’ll definitely have to try this. Oh, and your son’s comment cracked me up. Stuffing eating contest? Who ever heard of such a thing? This must be some good stuffing!
Clark says
Best stuffing ever! This comes from someone who has eaten their fair share of stuffing in my day. I even took second place once in a stuffing eating contest. If you know what’s good for you will make this stuffing this Thanksgiving, I’ve eaten it every Thanksgiving for the last 23 years and it never gets old!
