Thanksgiving Day

My mom, Rustie, Jace and Jordan all came to Thanksgiving at the Tingles. We had a huge clan this year. Jennifer and Robbie Baker dropped by for dessert. Grandmother Tingle spent some time playing Monopoly with the kids. Overall, it was a very pleasant Thanksgiving evening. Dinner was delicious. I made two of Paula Deen's top ten recipes this year. Double gooey Chocolate cake and Southen Cornbread Stuffing. Both recipes were really good...I did come close to disaster with the dressing when it just didn't seem to want to stick together. I think the recipe should call for a little less chicken stock. Which I actually said while I was pouring it into the mixture. I should have gone with my instincts on that one. After 40 minutes of cooking, I took it out of the oven, added a sleeve of crushed Saltines, and put it back in for another 20 minutes. It firmed up nicely.
