Sex & Shenanigans

Raisins and lemon peel and cinnamon sticks submerged in brandy in a dark place about 6months....I can't spell the Dutch word for Bride's tears but in English it translates into tiny balls of good for whatever ails ya
The brandy … not the raisins.
 
Oh this is a CHARGED conversation! Some people consider the difference to be that stuffing is cooked inside the bird and dressing is just cooked in a pan, and this was likely the most common difference in the beginning. The actual etymology of the word “dressing” used to describe the dish came about in the southern states in Victorian times because they thought “stuffing” sounded vulgar. Probably as a result of the cultural divide between north and south in the Victorian era (a little thing called the civil war), southerners continue to call it dressing and northerners continue to call it stuffing, regardless of the cooking method. Then StoveTop brand decided to further confuse people with their marketing of “StoveTop Stuffing” that was made (shockingly) on the stovetop and not stuffed inside a bird. Later, other brands like Mrs Cubbison’s marketed “dressing” mix made with cornbread and “stuffing” mix made with white bread, despite having the same cooking method. So for all practical purposes, the difference between stuffing vs dressing is cooking method and/or regional and/or ingredients. 🤷🏻‍♀️


I love ranch as a condiment. I hate it as a verb. Thanks S&S 😜


Anything yams / sweet potatoes! Baked yams with marshmallow topping, sweet potato pie, whatev…all VILE! I will entertain no conflicting opinions on this matter.


Yes, we all know what you’re really snobby about is COFFEE 😋


Depends on the competency of the gravy-maker, but generally no. The difference in giblet gravy is, as @lavendersilk or someone mentioned, they use the turkey giblets instead of just pan drippings. Flavor-wise, it reeks of liver, IMO.
Lol, yes. I know it is a southern/northern debate what to call it as well. But get this... my Mom is from PA and likes bread stuffing and my Nana is from OH and likes cornbread dressing. Neither ever stuffed the bird.
 
Who is putting raisins in things??


Fucking psychopaths.


Probably @OrdinaryPerson
Sandra Lee, for one. There are many recipes online, but she’s just all-around bad!

Yea, and nobody just says, "you know what? Ima eat just apple pie filling."

Y’know what…there have been multiple times when I’ve wanted dessert but had no dessert in the house, and have diced up an apple and baked it with cinnamon and brown sugar…sometimes butter, cornstarch, nutmeg, lemon juice, etc if I feel like being a perfectionist. It hits! It makes a great pancake topping too.

Don’t judge what I do in my underpants at night in the dark.
Rawr!
