Stuffed whole baked salmon gets raves every time. For Italian I go for lasagna with Italian sausage or fettuccine carbonara. I once made a simple banana pudding at a girls group my daughter was involved with. One teen looked at me with awe and said,"You can do that without instant pudding? I didn't know that was possible.'' You never know, sometimes when I've gone all out no one even notices. I guess it all evens out in the end.

Calvin Trillin, he makes me laugh,& there's just not enough of that in the world.

Amish Country Cream Havarti,or any good havarti. I like a good sharp cheddar too. This time of year I can't help thinking about my Husband's cheeseball. He always makes it for the holidays,it's great but I can't tell you what's in it,he might ,but I can't!!

I do love a good gumbo. But an oyster poorboy sounds so good to me right now ! I 'm seriously thinking about where I could get one in WV.

Dressing, in oven,no cornbread,, white or whole wheat bread or a mixture of both, onions & celery cooked in broth, all mixed together then baked . One pan soft &gooy, one pan crispy. Oh & salt ,white pepper & just alittle sage.
