This recipe is one of my favorite things I ever learned on Wonkette. My SIL makes a dressing/stuffing that is perfect for a breakfast strata. It's basically pepperidge farm herb stuffing, cooked crumbled up maple breakfast sausage (her recipe says you can use any kind of crumbled sausage including regular breakfast sausage or sweet Italian, but this is what she used the year I begged for the recipe because my daughter fell in love with it), sliced mushrooms, celery and onions sauteed in butter, and some chicken broth to bind it all together.
Being a language nut, I wonder about the word origin of "strata." It does not seem to correspond to any of my obvious guesses: Italian, Spanish, even Latin. But it sure does look like it does like it has something to do with strata, as in a geological layer.
Anyhow, I don't have anything close to the amount of leftovers for this recipe but I will divide it by a bunch, substituting heavy cream for milk. This recipe fits perfectly with my improvisational approach to solitary cooking.
The ingredients: That's a SWAG. The measurements: That's another SWAG. So I'll give it a try.
A hunch: I'll be glad I did but, being the good citizen I am (non-Sovereign), I will report back.
Saving my leftover (deli) turkey for Rachel with Swiss & slaw. Gonna try this strata with remaining deli roast beef & horseradish cheddar. It’s a thought experiment. My dressing is cubed baquettes, celery, Vidalia onion & shallots, tossed in 50/50 melted butter & buillion with sage, poultry seasoning, white pepper, tarragon and thyme. Turned out well, so may merit a rebirth. Will let you know…
Also good with something like that - the left over carrots or other veg. I didn't realize I could call it "strata." LOL All these years, I've been calling it "Things with Stuffing."
No more for me, but I will enjoy reading all about it (looks so good I can almost taste it), and the ideas others have. Too much sodium for me, and if it's an OK amount for me, it doesn't have much taste.
Oh! Gruyere is yummy in something like this and fat free half and half is a treat.
OMG, I love this so much! Unfortunately, I did not make stuffing for this year's meal. (I did, however, indulge in my new in-law's homemade Chinese dumplings!)
When I get home from my Turkey Day cross country jaunt, I am making this!

Bill,
Of late I have been buying gift boxes and giving them to friends.
They make great starter kits, getting new people aware of Penzeys.
I think it would be a great promotion to remind customers of the many great holiday gift boxes you have.
Bob
Thanks, Bob. We do have many really nice gift boxes that make great holiday gifts. And ever since we added the About Republicans to our homepage we do very much appreciate your effort to find us a few new customers to offset the Republican “BOYCOTT PENZEYS!” movements.
Someone has to speak out against the ongoing threat they’ve become to the survival of our democracy and our environment. If not us, who?
In the coming weeks we will have some very good prices on our mini gift boxes, but if you are looking to share a little bit more substantial Gift Box, right now is the time to get a great deal. Vanilla Extract at these prices makes for a pretty good gift as well, if even just for yourself. Don’t forget your LOVE, HEART, and YUM codes.
You do have a couple of days to order these, but placing your order today really helps us not fall behind.
Thanks for all you do for everyone, including us. You are appreciated,
"After the shootings, Mr Rittenhouse was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and two charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
Mr Rittenhouse, now 20, argued he fired in self-defence after each of the men attacked him.
In 2021, a jury acquitted him of all charges.
Since then, Mr Rittenhouse has made regular appearances in right-wing media and recently announced the release of his new book, titled Acquitted, which he describes as a “story of survival, resilience, and justice”.
But, despite his infamy, Mr Rittenhouse’s lawyer has revealed the 20-year-old has lost all his money since his acquittal
“He is working, he is trying to support himself. Everybody thinks that Kyle got so much money from this. Whatever money he did get is gone,” lawyer Mark Richards told Court TV.
“He’s living, I don’t want to say paycheck to paycheck, but he’s living to support himself. Obviously, as his lawyer and somebody who I want to do well, I hope he does re-engage in his studies."
Wondering if that last paragraph is the lawyer's (not so subtle) way of admitting he's been trying to get Rottenhouse to get off his lazy arse and DO something (besides shooting innnocent people and grifting off of it).
Being found not guilty doesn’t mean you didn’t drive two towns over and kill two people.
What happens when he hears that there’s some griping in Finance downstairs, is he going to crash their team meeting to protect Accounting (with his gun for self defense of course)?
While that’s an extreme example, his actions say a lot about his decision making process and that understandable would scare people. Anyways, what about all of his supporters and the true ‘Murican patriots!?! Don’t they have businesses that can offer him a job?!?
They don’t have any openings or aren’t interested? You don’t say.
Acquitted for attempted double murder "not good enough" for that White man
After the universities let him know he was unwelcome in their campuses and he went jetting around the country on the white nationalist terrorist tour meeting all the other white nationalist terrorists nominally in charge like Donald --
and after all that,
he STILL believes he's entitled to all the money 💰
My sister bought stuffing this year from a person who came highly recommended. I didn't even try it, but after dinner she tossed it before anyone could stop her.
I'm sorry but that is something I abhor. We waste FAR too much good, wholesome, nutritious food in this county and it enrages me. How in the hell can anyone throw out perfectly good food when there are people in their own neighborhood going to bed hungry?
And how, exactly, is Trump supposed to visit Buenos Aires? I'd think that the judges in all four felony cases would have to sign off on that, and, after Judge Cannon, that document's going to look pretty empty.
I have two (although one's expiring in a few weeks). A few years back, I had to apply for a US visa and travel to the UK at about the same time, both for work. As the visa application involved turning in my passport to the US consulate for a couple of weeks, I got my employer to sign a statement to the authorities that I needed a second passport to do my job, and voila! Two passports.
Sadly, I'm much handsomer on the photo in the (shorter-term) second passport than in the primary one, which is valid for another six years.
I have two--one personal and one gummint. There are other reasons for having multiple passports. Some countries will not let you in if you have, for example, an Israeli stamp in your passport. And while not technically verboten, trying to get into, say India if you have a Pakistani stamp is problematic.
There is little advantage to crooks in having multiple real passports, as everything is now electronic, and the US knows I'm crossing the border before my foot falls in the new country.
I travelled to Israel with my tourist passport on official business, and took shit for that stamp until I got a renewed passport about five years later. I nearly got arrested in the Airport at Athens. NATO SOFA helped a fair bit.
Multiple citizenship, perhaps. I'm a dual US/German citizen and I consequently have two passports. Plenty of people do. Nothing particularly sinister about it.
I do not believe that Drumpfuck possesses the wit or the wherewithal to take it on the lam and leave the country. He is too damned vain and conceited as well as having virtually no where to go where he'll be "adored" appropriately.
BTW, "Fitzgerald Chesterfield," if that is indeed your name -- this looks really good and I'm gonna do it!
PS -- goddaughter accused me of being a control freak. I think that's pretty rich coming from someone who doesn't even know how to scramble eggs properly :)
'Morning! I trust everyone's Thursday was satisfactory, or at least no one got stabbed with a carving fork.
DC adventure today! We all want to see the International Spy Museum (interactives! break codes and find dead drops, woohoo!) but it seems to be a very hot ticket, sold out until this evening. We'll get tickets for Sunday and do that before we head home. Tomorrow the high will be 41, so the Florida contingent will be freezing its tits off, but we're game!
Food Obsessive has already identified dinner for tonight (Ethiopian takeout, eaten in hotel room) and tomorrow (Peruvian sit-down restaurant).
This is the most Covid risk I've taken in 3 years. I'll wear a mask and use sanitizer and hope that my 7 vaccinations at least keep me from sitting at Death's doorstep.

I love Penzeys!
My Penzeys herbs de Provence made my prime rib this year when I was not told in advance it would be my responsibility 🙃
Their store is not far from me. Might be a fun afternoon outing to skulk around their offerings and pickup a holiday gift or two.
They closed the Penzeys near me. Now, mail order is all that's left. Not the same, though, without the smells of the store.
The site just said they were reopening some of the stores ...?
Republicans boycotted Penzeys? I didn’t know they sold food buckets as well as seasonings.
Rascal.

Selfish brats
That's how they all think
I hear tell the young man has plans to run for public office, hence the obligatory ghost-written missive.

I've made this strata every year for at least 5 years....so tasty.
My sister bought stuffing this year from a person who came highly recommended. I didn't even try it, but after dinner she tossed it before anyone could stop her.
Oy. You do NOT throw away perfectly good food!
I'm sorry but that is something I abhor. We waste FAR too much good, wholesome, nutritious food in this county and it enrages me. How in the hell can anyone throw out perfectly good food when there are people in their own neighborhood going to bed hungry?
Because it was bad or because she just tosses T-Day leftovers, which I never heard of.
Hmm.
The AssPress is saying that The Homunculus may visit Buenos Aires to commune with the new Prez.
Could he be trying to flee, or thinking about it? The prosecutors never made him surrender his passports.
And how, exactly, is Trump supposed to visit Buenos Aires? I'd think that the judges in all four felony cases would have to sign off on that, and, after Judge Cannon, that document's going to look pretty empty.
Say, you know WHO ELSE liked to flee to Argentina?
Why would he do that? He’s an innocent victim of the Deep State!
It's ok that he leaves. Just as long as he NEVER COMES BACK.
I don't know man. The lunatics seem to be winning all over, it's making me very nervous.
Passport(s)! Plural as in more than 1!
What kind of people need more than 1 and how do they get more than 1?
Different identities??????

A tourist one and an official one. I had two back in the day.*
* but I was not a crook... as far as you know...
Are you telling the truth about being a crook? Because Nixon tried that.
Wait a minute. Are you saying Nixon was a crook?
The USAF Office of Special Investigations used to crawl up my ass every five years with a microscope... (maybe I'm embellishing a bit).
However, I'm pretty sure I was not a crook as I'm not even a Republican.
I’m on the 10 year schedule for that, but it’s no branch of the YS Government.
I do not believe that Drumpfuck possesses the wit or the wherewithal to take it on the lam and leave the country. He is too damned vain and conceited as well as having virtually no where to go where he'll be "adored" appropriately.
If he could get away with fleeing the country without leaving Mar-a-Lago, he'd do it.
Can you imagine that lard ass out on the streets in Buenos Aires?
It's like a song outta Moulin Rouge...
