The Silver Palate's Corn Bread-Sausage Stuffing With Apples

The Silver Palate's Corn Bread-Sausage Stuffing With Apples. Stuffing is the most important dish.

I was once invited to someone's house for dinner. We get there with a nice bottle of wine in hand.

I have not accepted invites to their house since then and that was a couple years ago.

I mention this skit all the time. I always use the phrase "girl drink drunk". A classic.

I was at a party where there was a miscommunication about who was bringing the lechon. We ended up with two pigs that day. Best party ever.
