Maybe my mother tried it back in the day, but I don't remember eating
it and if I did, I didn't like it well enough to repeat the
experience. Fast forward to this morning. I was looking at recipes
for a cranberry glaze to use with meatballs and found a recipe that
calls for stuffing mix with cranberries.

really is such a product!

It's Whole Foods' house brand, 365 Organic, chicken flavored with
cranberries stuffing mix. I may buy a box and see it I like it or
not. If I don't, no loss. The rest of it can be meatball filler.

The stuffing mixes that I have tried were all way too salty. It's been a
while, though, so perhaps they've toned it down.

Exactly what Travis said. "Whole Foods' house brand, 365 Organic
chicken flavored with cranberries stuffing mix" my ass! Lots of SALT
is more like it! Processed food SALTY CRAP!

That's why you need a copy of The Joy Of Cooking. I'd open mine and
look up "stuffings and dresings" and look through their recipes to get
an idea of what and how m,ucvh to put in "my stuffing" Then I'd make
my own. That's what I always did for Thankgiving, baxck in the day
when I'd make the turkey and stuffing. And it was ALWAYS great! And
never too salty.

I have the "Joy of Cooking" and it's so 'yawn'. Pictures would make
it much better but as it is written, it's very boring to me and not
worth taking off the bookshelf.

Kuthe and Bryan are birds of a feather, carrying on some stupid feud on
this ng. (They're both in my bozo bin.) Even if you made your own
cranberry stuffing from bread you baked from scratch, there would be
salt in the bread. If not, it would be some pretty crappy bread. And
some pretty crappy stuffing.

Hi John,

I don't mind the boxed stove top version. It;s fast and easy. I
prefer the Pepperidge farm sorts (comfort food as a kid, didnt get it
often but it was the most edible part of the bird).

I've made it from scratch when I had to in Japan and it was good but it
was also a pita to do.

The thing that's always interesting to me regarding sodium/salt is the
serving size and the amount of sodium. I think that gives you a more
accurate picture than just where salt is on the ingredients list.

You know my Google Foo isn't the best. I would have loved to see that
one, but didn't find it within close range of what I posted and refuse
to put any more effort into doing it, because I really do NOT care. I
can look at the box in person when I am there. I'm buying it to use
as an ingredient, not to eat off the plate, so surprise, surprise - I
can figure out how to counter act a little too much salt in a boxed
stuffing mix. Anyone else who cares enough to comment about the
amount of salt can look up the information for himself. Notice the
male gender? That was said on purpose. I have noted over the years
that it's always male personality posters who get their panties in a
twist over these things. The rest of us who actually do the shopping
in real life (the female gender personalities), know we can check the
label on the box when we have it in our hands and we're grown up
enough to decide if we'll buy it or make it ourselves. /rant off/

Stovetop stuffing is blah but it's a good base to start with. Very
amusing to see that they actually won the competition. I always start
with that then enhance it. One main thing is to use your great
homemade stock instead of water.

I have a box here now. I also still have some frozen cranberries. I
might throw a few into the mix next time I make stuffing.

I'm a guy and I shop like one - that shouldn't be a surprise - and I'm
also far from the only guy food shopping on a regular basis.

I mentioned, as part of a public conversation here, what would have been
more interesting to me. I didn't say there is anything wrong with what
you do.

I am just interesting in the assertion that men wear panties - twisted or
not ;-)

I posted this to a board years ago, but I think that it remains sound
advice:

I offer this advice in the spirit of public service, as there seems to
be a lot of this going around these days:

WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET YOUR PANTIES UP IN A BUNCH:

1) Stay calm, DON'T PANIC!!!

2) Pull down the panties, and step out of them. This may take some
effort, depending on how bunched up the panties are.

3) Unbunch the panties.

4) Step into the panties, and pull them back up.

4) Above all, don't panic, STAY CALM!!!

I would like it noted that this was not my assertion - just sayin'.

I prefer "knickers in a knot" both for its alliteration and because it
seems not quite as, well, you know ...

sf's panties can knot a trawling net.
