Hi Dale,
RH> (or dressing) you grew up with. BTW, if it's in the bird, it's
RH> stuffing; (fixed) outside of the bird, it's dressing. (G) Since Steve
RH> smokes our birds, most of the time I make dressing. We'll put an apple,
RH> onion and some herbs inside the cavity.
DS> When my Mother cooked a whole chicken roaster in the oven, she never
DS> used a stuffing. It was always a dressing. She made a cornbread
DS> dressing in a pan large enough to hold the chicken and then roasted
DS> the chicken on top of the dressing. That way it absorbed all of the
DS> drippings for a better flavor.
Sounds good. My mom always did mashed potatoes (no gravy) and a side
vegetable with roasted chicken, as that's what Dad liked. I remember one
stretch of several months when I was abut 9 or 10 years old, my folks
must have gotten a really good deal on roasting hens. At the time,
somebody in town had a cold storage locker facility; I remember having
to go there to pick up a chicken. We had a cat at the time that at every
time Mom roasted a chicken, would make herself known at the supper
table. Dad would carve up the chicken, then, after everybody was served,
take the part that "went over the fence last" (his words) and put it
into the cat's dish. We had chicken probably once a week for some months
so the cat was kept quite happy.
BC> The Betty Crocker recipe said 5 minutes, but it took me about BC>
12-15 minutes too.
RH> Sounds like somebody transcribed the recipe wrong, left off a "1" in
RH> front of the "5".
DS> The menus here come with a calorie statement. The listing for
DS> raspberry sorbet says (970). Obviously wrong, but it has not been
DS> corrected for
DS> years.
How often have the menus been reprinted in the time you have been there?
It could be that they're waiting until the menus need reprinting before
correcting the mis-statememt. Makes you wonder, tho, how may other
calorie counts are off. Do they include other nutrition information like
carbs, fat, sodium, etc?
