    Best store bought, Stove Top, is stuffing.

    What do you eat ramen too? My Grandmother Honey would haunt me if I served Stove Top. All of my holiday meal preparation comes from my mother and grandmother, add butter to everything nothing but the best and make enough for 2 times the guest list.

    Oh yeah, ramen is great after an 18 hour day harvesting.

    I have amped it up a bit beyond butter but in respect to my Grandmother I use bacon grease instead of salt as a seasoning. Only fresh I do not have a metal coffee can under the sink of bacon grease.

    Stuffing is not bought in bags either, real stuffing is cubed bread with a variety if seasonings and chopped veggies.

    Bagged stuffing is just the same as Stove Top under another label.

    :lol: Exactly, that's why stove top isn't that bad either. That was my only point.

    Make some mashed taters with raw potatoes, some real turkey gravy with the drippings and cook a moist turkey. Who cares after that if the rolls were in a paper tray, the stuffing was boxed or bagged and the green beans and corn were doctored up after opening the can.

    Good food is good food

    My pregnant daughter would beg to differ, and don't tell her that if she is hangry.

    So the next big question?? Oven or deep fry the bird...we used to bake 1 and deep fry 2nd one, nobody ate oven bird, so now we just fry 2 birds, even this year with only a group of 6 getting together.

    I was pondering smoking the turkey but I don't wan't to risk it not going well. Temperature in November and if it is windy it could be hard to get proper temperature.

    I am like a kid waiting for Christmas for some reason I am excited for the gathering, it's going to be awesome. I think it will be the first time we had Thanksgiving just us my immediate family. Last year my parents came up with their dogs that pissed in my house, none of that this year.
