Just to add to the mix you may see stuffing referred to as dressing in North America
Just to add to the mix you may see stuffing referred to as dressing in North AmericaI've been wondering about 'stuffing' for ages, as I've seen it mentioned as a christmassy thing, but in my Dutch mind you can stuff a bird with just about anything. And I did notice it was sometimes mentioned without adding what animal exactly was stuffed with this mysterious stuffing!
Your post clears up years of puzzlement, thank you!
So 'stuffing' turns out to be basically the stuff you use to make meatballs, but either put in a bird or baked as it is, makes perfect sense to me.
And speaking of turkeys, I had a nagging feeling I was forgetting something to do with my neighbour, and now I remember, too late.
One of the turkeys was attacked by a bird of prey a couple of days ago, so neighbour put it out of its misery. Yesterday he mentioned that what was salvable was currently sitting in two pots on the stove, so I planned a strategic visit today, and forgot all about it.
He'll be off for work for 4 days again at 5AM, not a chance of me having a taste of the poor bird.
Today was fish fillet a lá bordelaise (Aldi), and whatever veggies were still in my kitchen mixed with cream cheese. A small leek, a small onion and some bell pepper, not bad at all!

It's the small things which make us remember with bittersweet feelings.
@jessj , you're completely right, my meatballs are good, but never as good as those of my father, even though his were slightly different every time he made them.
@AndBreathe , all those veggies still don't look like they belong on this particular plate. Using it is a conscious choice every time, celebrating a loved colleague/friend, just like I sometimes choose my fathers mug for my morning coffee, or the one I associate with my old dog. Both father and dog passed away on dec 19 in different years. It's a time of year for remembering for me, and the plate fits in.
I didn't know there is defatted almond flour. I checked on amazon.in, found they sell defatted almond flour in my country too.Tea, 2 babybels
2 x Cheese Advent calendar portions, Coffee (almond milk) s/f caramel, Ceylon cinnamon, Adonis 3C bar
Scrambled egg (3 large) and Mackerel
Hot no added sugar Ribena
Pork belly slices, broccoli and sugar snap peas, celeriac chips, tomato Polpa, 2 slices of buttered H/M Pannetone (made in new air fryer using normal almond flour and in a cake tin just to try but we have now bought a Pannetone tin and will buy the defatted superfine almond flour: recipe here - definitely omitted chocolate) , water, multi vitamin #Hungry

Snap 're your breakfast but one rasher of bacon for me with my egg and cooked my mushrooms in olive oil as like the taste.Evening everyone,
Had a mug of cocoa with added cream first thing.
Late breakfast of 2 rashers of back bacon, one fried egg, and about half a dozen mushrooms sauteed in butter.
Mid afternoon had another cocoa with cream and a handful of walnuts
Early dinner of roast pork loin, steamed swede and celeriac mashed together with butter (think I'm now preferring this to any potato dish), white cabbage and broccoli.
May have 2 squares of 90% Lindt chocolate later.
Carbs so far 18g.
Stress can be very impactful especially if affecting your sleep. I lost sleep just one night last night stressing about if certain vital meds would be there for our eldest and felt under weather especially first thing. You take care and try to put your feet up a bit if possible we can only be stretched so far!Breakfast was 3 scrambled eggs with the 2 year old smoked salmon
Walk with a friend
Coffee (tea for me) with more friends
L: 2 slice cheese on livlife bread
D: will be a lc chicken casserole cooked in the slow cooker yesterday, celery, onion, red wine, carrots added. Might do a packet rice for hubby with his.
Still feeling physically grotty, not sure if its stress or illness
You could always photo bomb us on our parallel thread I for one would be interested. Hope you have another lovely awe inspiring adventure in the new year bet you can't wait.I just love it that she is "still here" in small ways, not really obvious, or in the faces to those who never knew her, or of her.
We'll be heading off to foreign climes early new year and I know that will be a bit bitter sweet. Last year I spent my time walking and photo spamming certain parts of south London with images beautiful and bizarre.
I'll still do my 10km a day as I really enjoyed checking in on my foreign "friends" en route, and it keeps the circulation going. I feel certain the little old lady cleaning fish will still think me insane for not wearing a hat. She gives up telling me off after about a month.
Stubborn, moi? Oh yeah!
I can't wait for the sunshine and warmth, for sureYou could always photo bomb us on our parallel thread I for one would be interested. Hope you have another lovely awe inspiring adventure in the new year bet you can't wait.
That was yesterday, so today I obviously had the other half of my fish fillet a lá bordelaise.Today was fish fillet a lá bordelaise (Aldi), and whatever veggies were still in my kitchen mixed with cream cheese. A small leek, a small onion and some bell pepper, not bad at all!

Regarding the instant mash I think it is a mix of factors. Possibly I am able to metabolise a small amount efficiently now. Also one can weigh out a set amount of flakes/powder rather than having say one potato. Thirdly, the butter must help - I would never normally put butter in mashed potatoes. I think like most things the effect is highly individual. Thanks for the good wishes for the gels.Hope you like the pork crunch.
Please tell me about instant mash - I vaguely remember some chat in here about it a while ago. I’ve never had it, is it just dried potato and do you think that turns it into resistant starch? Or is it the addition of lots of butter that stops BG spike do you think?
Hope the poorly family members feel better soon.
