Seven Year Stuffing


Nick researched GF stuffing via the internets, and found Gluten Free Girl's recipe just in time for Thanksgiving. Before this Thanksgiving, the last time I ate stuffing was 7 years ago. (I went GF about two weeks before Thanksgiving 7 years ago.) Nick used Glutino corn bread to make his deliciousness. The GF was even more amazing than I remember stuffing being. Kudos, Gluten Free Girl!

Someone was cooking in the therapy kitchen* today. And it smelled like stuffing. Bam! The craving began. Honestly, it's all I could think about all day. My thoughts would wander to hints of sage and the warmth of the bread melting in my mouth. When I came home from work, like magic, Nick had made homemade chicken noodle soup and *gasp* stuffing! I was thrilled.

* The therapy kitchen at work has cool adaptable cooking equipment, counters that raise and lower, a mirror so the cook can see the stove top while sitting, etc.

So where have I been lately? I got food poisoning from a turkey burger the week before Thanksgiving (which did not deter the turkey eating). That was followed up by a sinus infection, my car windshield and hood being ruined by a flying piece of re-tread flying across 285, wedding planning, and last week's bought of food poisoning (this time by Whole Foods hot bar). I think I'll be back on track. I do miss writing. In the mean time, check out the stuffing recipe.
