My first wife had to have her stuffing in balls -- scooped onto a cookie
sheet with an ice cream scoop, then baked until the edges were crisp.
If the stuffing wasn't like that, it just didn't hit the Thanksgiving

(I like it like that just fine, but prefer my stuffing moister.)

LOL it would never occur to me to do that. There is a little bit of duck
left but everything else is gone.

Spring rolls for dinner tonight

Did it have egg in it? Otherwise, did it fall apart?

My daughter doesn't like soggy things, so I tried this method. I
gather it was a success, because she just helped herself to
another muffin.
