"A Wink and a Smile"

An idea for those who may happen to STILL have some stuffing leftovers. Take your stuffing and mix in 3-4 eggs.  I had about a 2qt. dish leftover ... my girls won't touch the stuffing so it is always just the hubby and me (and other family when they are visiting).  Let it sit for a little bit to absorb the liquid.  Form little balls/dumplings.  Bake for 25-30 minutes (at 350) ... turning at the 20 minute mark. Then serve these little babies with some cranberry/orange relish.  We just love to use the recipe from the back of the Oceanspray cranberries bag.  Basically it is a whole orange or two, one cup of sugar and the bag of cranberries pulverized in the processor. YUMMY ... I think I may just like this better than the stuffing on day one.

If I am not blogging, it probably means that I am really being productive or just plain busy. Highlights of the last days ... *3 day swim meet which amounted to about 23 hours at the pool.  The four older girls swam.  We had some mixed results and a sick (throwing up) child on day 3.   *Monday night I took my oldest daughter and 4 of her friends to see TWILIGHT.  I heard mixed reviews of this, but I actually liked it a lot.  This was a movie that you could take a teenager to see and there was no sex, no foul language, no nudity, and just a few relatively mild kisses.  When I was a teenager you had all those John Hughes movies like Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and a bunch more.  While I did like those movies, the acting was just okay (if you watch them as an adult), and there is a whole lot that I don't think I would want my 13 year old to see (yet).  Of course the movie had differences than the book, but I still found it enjoyable and the romantic side of me...
