Thanksgiving
Good to be back after a great break for Thanksgiving. Mom came over from Seattle for the week and we all gathered together on Thanksgiving day at my sisters house. We had an amazing Turkey (organic), dressing, homemade cranberry sauce, salad, strawberry pretzel salad, wine, green beans, sweat mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. It was a wonderful feast and a great break.

sad to see you've fallin for the "organic" gimmick. its the oldest trick in the book.:)
I love Strawberry Pretzel Salad....yum.
Wait, did he mean STUFFING when he listed DRESSING? Dressing goes on top of salad...
I definately meant dressing. Stuffing actually gets "stuffed" into the Turkey, where it cooks and is then removed to be eaten. Dressing, is just there as...well dressing.
As far as the organic comment goes, you're right. We are partially organic. When it comes to the turkey there is no question that getting an organic one is a big step above the traditional FROZEN Butterball (read here).
Levi eats a lot of organic foods but not exclusively (except for Milk). Allison and I still get the hormone induced milk so we aren't totally committed.
mmm ... dressing.
Holy Cow! It's Tim!
Dressing goes on top of something - most commonly a salad. Stuffing - whether it is stuffed inside a turkey or not - is still called stuffing. The fact that it isn't inside the bird does not warrant a name change. If you see a tire on the side of the road - instead of on a car - you don't call it something else. It's still a tire.
Kenny, you're right dressing is used to "dress" food. You "dress" a salad with typically a liquid dressing and you can "dress" a Turkey with a seasoned bread and vegatable mixture (look it up).
Your tire analogy is weak, because (depending on what situation you are in) that tire could be called a "spare" tire right?
Next you will be saying that french fries are to be eaten with brown gravey and cheese as opposed to chilli and cheese.
Okay, your link to the princeton wordnet site is official enough for me. Which now leads to it being a purely cultural naming convention. I can appreciate that you come from other corners of the country than I do, but now that you are full-fledged Northeasterner, you had better start calling stuffing stuffing and eating your fries with melted cheese and brown gravy! Don't get me started on the soda/pop/coke controversy.
Sweat mashed potatoes?!? GROSS!!!
We do the organic milk for Rowan...
