When you feed your family stuff with partially hydrogenated soybean
oil you do nothing to improve the gene pool, since it nearly always
kills past reproducing age. Try adding ethylene glycol instead.

Calling this manly only makes sense if you think that men are stupid.

Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound
widely used as an automotive antifreeze and a precursor to polymers.
In its pure form, it is an odorless, colorless, syrupy, sweet tasting
liquid (although it should be noted that ethylene glycol is toxic, and
ingestion can result in death).

I've always admired your recipes, Kate. You inspired me to make corn
chowder. I can't eat it anymore, but thanks for the recipe!
But dang...okay, maybe the excuse is in the subject line..."manly" What
does that mean?

Hopefully you saved that dry dressing. Add more broth or even water and
heat it up to make a nice moist dressing. You can easily stir in more
broth/stock/water and then reheat it in a covered dish in the microwave.
Taste and adjust seasonings. All is not lost!

I know what ethylene glycol is. I was being sarcastic.

That was the name of the recipe. Supposedly invented by a "man".
Note name of author. ;-)

Anyway, I chose it because it was quick and dirty and I have been
having a lot of back and leg pain the last 2 weeks and didn't want
anything too complicated in order to reduce the amount of time
I spend in the kitchen and on my feet. (You wouldn't believe the
things I can do sitting down!) Anyway, it tastes pretty good.

I was tempted to try one with sausage and apple in it but *way*
too much work. I may try that one another time because it really
sounds good.

I explained that I didn't want it too moist as that was what
I didn't like about the first cornbread dressing I tried. This
one turned out only slightly drier than I would want. But once
I put gravy on it it's not a problem. It's fine the way it is
for now. Next time I'll make it *slightly* more moist.

You're full of crap.

Well, actually I do . . . at least some of them, Bryan.

However, I didn't name it. The *MAN* who created it named it.

It should piss you off too that brands like Pep. Farms and Brownberry
appear on stuffing mixes with partially hydrogenated oils.

Most of the recipes that you re-publish are good. This one wasn't.
The cornbread stuffing mix at Trader Joe's is far better than what The
Pigman prescribes.

There is no sarcasm on usenet. It was tried. It didn't work.

Now you're being sarcastic and you know the rules.
