Thought I'd pop back in here for a few minutes. Hubby is out at a Thanksgiving Day road race for a few hours; his running time is usually pretty good, so I'm looking forward to seeing how his placement is this year. 
Since our Thanksgiving restaurant feast isn't until this afternoon, I decided to bake a pumpkin bread this morning, and I also made a stove-top cranberry chutney. Needless to say, my dog, Jack, was underfoot. He was in shock, I think, as I don't cook or bake that often. He had this blank look on his face with every little spice jar I'd open (although that may also have something to do with me cursing the "safety seal" on all those stupid little jars. They're a pain in the neck to open.
)
Had to open up a box of raisins and it was sealed, too--so I open up the top of the box with a knife, and the box slips, and raisins go flying all over the kitchen table and floor. Now, Jack was elated at the sight of airborne food, and he dove for every raisin on the floor!! Luckily, the box was large enough, that half the raisins were still inside, which was more than enough for the chutney recipe.
When the pumpkin bread was done in the oven, I took it out to cool on a rack. But I think I took it out of the pan too soon, (maybe it's supposed to cool in the pan a bit?) because it sort of broke into thirds when I tried to put it on the rack. I know it was cooked through as I tested it while it was in the oven, with a knife that came out clean. Cooking. Ugh.

Do you get creative with leftovers? My mom invented a rice dish to use up all our leftovers from thanksgiving. She pulled the turkey apart, added the gravy and some mushrooms and served it over rice.

Don't forget celery....there's celery in stuffing, too.Some people put onions in stuffing, that makes it a vegetable.

I'm assuming that's 2 1/2, not 21 1/2? The Dutch don't bake meat. A lot of people don't even have ovens. Everything is done on the stove, so I can't get a ham, or a turkey, or a chicken, or a pot roast. No stuffing a bird for me. The first year I came over here, I was determined to have a real Thanksgiving with my In-laws. But my inlaws didn't have a real oven...they have this thing called a magnetron, which is a microwave sized thing that is a combination oven and microwave. So I measured the inside, and went and bought a roasting pan that would fit inside it. Then I measured the inside of the pan and took my tape measure to a big Sam's Club type store because that was the only place to get a turkey. I measured every turkey they had and had to get the smallest turkey....a 9 lb turkey, and it still didn't quite fit in the pan, so I had to cover the pan with tin foil and put the lid on top. Kind of funny, looking back, but it was a pain!!

My mom always did stuffing from a box, which I preferred. My aunt made hers from scratch, but put way too much sage in it.I love sage, this would taste great! I also love celery and thyme, only a little in my stuffing. Sometimes I add a beaten egg. I don't know why but that is what Mom would do. So funny , how we carry on traditions. DD does everything from a box, it's fine with me, as I don't have to cook. She has never liked food or cooking. Her hubby makes traditional sweet potatoes, and green bean casserole. They smell so good, but it has milk so I only "smell".
Green bean casserole has always been my favorite. My mom used to set it at the other end of the table to give others the chance to get some before I hogged it all.

Yep, they're great to snack on, too.
My folks always have bags and bags of 'em. They keep plenty to use, give a bunch away, and also sometimes wholesale them to stands to sell.
The squirrels end up gettin' the rest.

Yes, but, if I think it's what you're referring to, the head is way too small for the ears.
