My favorite is cornbread dressing, and for years I *thought* I was making
it the way my grandmother and mom always made it, that is, until my mom was
in the kitchen with me one Thanksgiving and asked me where the biscuits
were. To a skillet of cornbread, they always added 3-4 homemade biscuits,
crumbled. It made just the slightest difference, but an improvement, IMHO.
