Yes, it was always my favorite meal to prepare for guests because I didn't have to plan t he menu, and knew how to make all the favorite dishes. Variations were not appreciated by my family. One year I added a little rutabaga to the mashed potatoes, to give it a pretty color. They wouldn't eat it. Another time I forgot the creamed onions and my husband was bitterly disappointed (I think he was the only one who ate them). Always had to have two kinds of cranberry sauce. And always, by the time we ate, I couldn't taste anything.

We cook the giblets for the kitties and use chicken thighs to flavor the dressing.

Mom always purchased extra and saut�ed them in a lot of butter with the celery, small onion, mushrooms and a few other things that went into the stuffing. I could never eat liver or the giblets alone or cooked but was run out of the kitchen thousands of times for sampling. It must have been the butter.
The saut� was then added to the bread along with other seasonings and then raw eggs were use to bind things together. No chicken stock used here. Man I would eat that stuff uncooked warm or cold.
Mom would make the stuffing the night before and I was into it as soon as she was finished. My niece makes a close second but has cut a lot of corners and does not use the giblets or eggs.
