Good mornin’, Lucille! I can remember when sane people used to hope that California would break off right around the San Andreas Fault and float out into the ocean. Coffee’s ready, ma’am. 😉

Morning Lucille! We do have a lot of those, but I’m taking a hard line on any oysters in my dressing. I’ll leave that to those Virginians!
Found this interesting article while perusing your link. We are a defiant family, apparently. Only money about half of these. Of most importance, we are very thankful, we do come hungry, and you better not be late, or you might not get to eat much.

Good day, Menagerie! I still recall the wonderful family holiday gatherings and consuming every morsel in no time flat. Desserts were mouthwateringly traditional and served a couple of hours after turkey time.
Shakers of cinnamon were on the side.

Hi Reflections. Bitter cold is coming. Although it was 70s yesterday, the temps drop all day today and we’ll be in the 20s tomorrow with a lot of wind chill. Not looking forward to it.
I am about to go outside and smoke a whole chicken and some ribs before the cold hits.

National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day – what an invention!
National Louisiana Day – yes, they put seafood in their cornbread dressing and always seem to have noodles and cheese at Thanksgiving
National Microtia Day = small ears
National Scrapple Day – maybe ate some once, not a fan

Czarina,
You may have intentionally forgotten it.
They call it Scrapple, because it is made with scraps of meat that are encased in solidified corn meal mush, cooled, then cut and fried. It’s only equaled by goetta, a similar food, only goetta’s made with pin or steel cut oats.
They are both ways of using every last bit of an animal. There may be some tasty versions. I did not find either appealing, but more akin to subsistence food for a family.
Next up to try in that vein is haggis, or maybe not to try.

Good day, Czarina! Seafood in cornbread dressing sounds delicious. Never have had fried chicken sandwiches…a bit bulky to eat perhaps?
All dressed up scrapple looks OK in photos…
What Is Scrapple and What’s The Best Way To Cook It?
BY JONATHAN KESH
If you’ve ever spent time in the Mid-Atlantic, it’s entirely possible you’ve seen scrapple. It vaguely resembles Depression-era meatloaf, though it holds its square shape much more easily. Plus, a few bites will quickly tell you that scrapple is pork, not beef, and that it tastes closer to liverwurst or even breakfast sausage, depending on how it’s spiced (usually with salt, pepper, and sage). In essence, scrapple is a thick, mushy food made from pork scraps (including edible organ meat), cornmeal, and often buckwheat flour. It’s almost a pâté, though perhaps closer to polenta in some ways.
