Today is Thanksgiving. It’s the one day a year that Americans throw caution to the wind and eat like total hogs and not feel totally guilty about it. We show how thankful we all are by gorging on roasted turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and dinner rolls.
I’ve gotten Thanksgiving down to a science. I avoid eating mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, green bean cassarole, and even sweet potatoes. I can eat most of that stuff any day of the year. What I can’t get much of is my mother-in-law’s cornbread dressing. To say that it’s good is an understatement. It’s beyond good. It’s fantastic. It’s a work of culinary art. She also makes cream corn to go with it. You put the creamed corn on top of the cornbread dressing.
That’s what I concentrate on. When there is my mother-in-law’s cornbread dressing on the table, eating food that can be had on any other day of the week is a rookie mistake.
