Cornbread Dressing

Is your Thanksgiving menu all set?  Are you doing the traditional meal, or are you doing something different?  The families here in Morristown are getting all geared up for Thanksgiving.  Tony and Antoinette are expecting a house full of guests.  Even Freeman is expected to show up.  Antoinette, our caterer, got a request for ham and dressing.  You got to see the ham a few days ago.  Well she just finished the stuffing and will be delivering it to her customer just in time for Thanksgiving.  She is cutting it a little close.

The pan of cornbread stuffing on the right is for her customer.  The pan on the left was the start of another pan of stuffing.  She had only put in the cornbread at this point.  She still had to add the celery, onions, and spices.

Not sure what happened here.  Maybe she wanted to show all the little individual pieces of cornbread she meticulously cut.  She has since finished this pan of stuffing.  It will more than likely end up on her table for dinner.  Of course, she said she would be willing to sell if, if there was a request.

    1. Loretta - Gotcha! Sorry to do that to you so early in the morning. I hope you find something really good to cook. I had red beans and rice for breakfast. I made the beans yesterday and got up this morning at 5am and made the rice. I'm famous for eating dinner food at breakfast and vice versa. Have a wonderful day!

  2. When I saw the picture I thought it was real stuffing! Antoniette is really perfectionist with her work. I haven't ever tried cornbread in my life, but I'm sure it tastes great!

    1. Mustiwait - Thanks. If I wasn't spread so thin, I would have lots of food available. It's fun to make, albeit very time consuming.

    1. Marta - Thanks. It seems like cornbread is not common in some of the other countries. It's pretty normal here in the states.

  9. You're quite right, cornbread isn't very common in many countries, including Australia. It looks delicious.

    1. Carrickters - You can learn so much through blogging. I've always taken cornbread for granted. I will probably savor it a little more this holiday.
