Fried turkey is the best... my wife and I used to do one every year but we haven't done one since we moved. Florida is too dry and flammable.

My old secretary had a not so funny story about her neighbor's Thanksgiving fried turkey. I guess the neighbor decided to cook one in the garage because it would be too dangerous close to the house. Something went wrong and the garage caught fire. Fortunately, they were frying it in the garage. Unfortunately, their garage was connected to the house. They lived in the country. I think the volunteer firefighters saved the basement.

What is this 'dressing' to which people have been referring? Is that some jacked-up way of saying 'stuffing'?

Anyway, anybody who thinks their stuffing holds a candle to my fam's sausage-apple or Pernod-oyster is batshit crazy. Sorry.

The first time I ever encountered dressing was at a Thanksgiving dinner with an ex-girlfriend. Her whole family tried to tell me it was stuffing. The ingredients were the same as stuffing, except it was cooked in a casserole dish instead of inside the bird. It was drier than (please insert your own dirty thought here) and tasted like crap.

that's why we don't do it very often... now that we live by my parents we have Thanksgiving dinner over there... my Mom won't me brink the turkey fryer over because she doesn't want me to burn down their house.

Aha. My family cooks far too much stuffing to fit inside the bird - some of it must be cooked in separate dishes. However, if it's coming out dry and shitty sans bird, then it's a crap recipe to begin with. Either way, it's fucking called 'stuffing' inside the bird or out.

Take it over to your in-laws house. Wait! Don't, because if you burn their house down they will move in with you.

By the way, if the stuffing does not go in the bird it is dressing because there was no stuffing involved. Extra stuffing that does not fit in a bird falls into a limbo status because it was created to go into a bird, but there was not room. Had the original intention been to just cook it in a casserole dish it is dressing. I will leave it to the carver of the turkey to make the decision if it is dressing or stuffing. He who has the biggest knife makes the rules!
