Am I missing out on something by not
eating stuffing?
We did our “Tuesday Topic” on the
air yesterday and asked people about the food they most enjoy on
Thanksgiving. And I have to admit I was a little surprised when the
winner was stuffing. Not turkey, not pumpkin pie, my two favorites,
but stuffing.
Really?
I think this proves a couple of things,
one being that it's further evidence I'm not like other human beings.
I've never liked stuffing, and I don't know that I ever will. I
don't know why; I like many of the ingredients that go into stuffing.
But I guess I've just never liked the overall end result, per se, of
stuffing. I don't know if it's the flavor, the texture, or the fact
that it's usually shoved up a turkey's butt to cook. For whatever
reason, I personally don't like stuffing.
But I know I'm in the minority here. I
know that every other single person with whom I traditionally share
my Thanksgiving dinner adores the dish. And they're probably happy I
don't like it. After all, it just means more for them. From the
sounds of it, I'm guessing this would also get replayed in any other
households where there are a bunch of stuffing lovers and one
naysayer. The people who love the dish—the vast, vast majority of
people—get a little more because there's one person who, for
whatever rational or (ahem) irrational reason doesn't like it.
You know...like at any Thanksgiving
dinner where I'm a guest. Unless, of course, someone figured out a
way to make it with chocolate. Then maybe, just maybe, I might
consider it.
Maybe.

On that note, I hope that you and
everyone with whom you might celebrate has a great day tomorrow.
I'll be back both on the air and here (with a great list from the
past) Friday should you find yourself so insanely bored that you
don't have anything else to do.
Happy Thanksgiving. And I hope you survive the crap Mother Nature's throwing at us today. As I type this, we (in Marquette) have three inches of slush that, I'm guessing, will soon freeze and be with us until March. And that's nothing compared to what people away from Lake Superior are facing.
Yikes. Stay safe!
