That is the cutest story I've heard in a long time. Okay, it's hard
to envision Thanksgiving without cranberry sauce, some nice green
vegetable, pumpkin pie, and *most* important ... STUFFING.
Okay, in your case, dressing. Me, I'm having sausage stuffing, but
there are so many recipes for stuffing, and I don't know what you
like, it's your decision.

I hope someone will help you with cooking the turkey breast, I won't
as I've never made one. Whatever you do, don't dry it out, and I
forgot, you need gravy!

Good luck! nancy
