A question: Do you say "dressing" or "stuffing"? And where are you from?

Well, they're different things, too me.
- Anika
Stuffing. Seattle.
- Rochelle
Stuffing comes in a box. Dressing is what we have on Thanksgiving; it's made with cornbread and celery and doesn't go inside the turkey. I'm from Georgia. :)
- Laura B.
Stuffing. I got it from my mom who grew up in Massachusetts.
- Michelle Martinez
We say dressing. My family's from Louisiana.
- Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
Akiva says it's only stuffing if it's baked in the bird. Otherwise, it's dressing. He's from Texas.
- Rochelle
From Missouri: We say both and were ignorant of the difference.
- SAM
Yeah, dressing and stuffing are separate entities to me too. Stuffing is stuffed inside. Dressing dresses the outside. EDIT: from UK.
- Mark H
Stuffing. Currently in Nevada. Going back to Cali in a couple of months. My immediate family is/was not from this country, so when they started celebrating Thanksgiving after they came to California, they heard stuffing.
- Helen Sventitsky
Dressing - Texas
- Jeremy
I have a theory that the difference is regional. I suspect the dislike of the word "stuffing" is a Bible Belt thing.
- Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
Harvey, I agree with this theory. I've been in Seattle for nearly 28 years and have never once heard someone native to here call it dressing.
- Rochelle
As far as I can remember, my family has always called it stuffing. We're New York Jews.
- josh neff, Fun Dip of FF
Stuffing - dressing is something you do with your clothes to cover yourself up (from UK)
- WorldofHiglet
I wonder if us southerners think "stuffing" has a sexual connotation. :)
- Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
you americans are crazy. stuffing is for the inside of a poultry, dressing is some sort of gravy or sauce for on top of something (eg a salad)
- Snipergirl
Well, Snipergirl, there's dressing, and then there's dressing.
- Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
A salad is considered dressing? Hmm. I don't think I've ever heard (that is,in Seattle) any *food* ever called dressing. Dressing is what you do with clothes in the morning and that's about it.
- Rochelle
@rochelles no a salad dressing is what you put on salad
- Snipergirl
I think you mean SAUCE.
- Rochelle
Snipergirl salad dressing is different from dressing (mush made from cornbread).
- Anika
When I put my clothes on, it's dressing. When I stuff the turkey, it's stuffing. Oh,and I'm a Midwestener. My mom used to make oyster stuffing for Thanksgiving. So good.
- Sarah June
And even here in the States, depending on region, salad dressing can mean different things. Here in CA it means like ranch, Italian, Thousand Island, but in the midwest, it's some mayonnaise mixture made with relish that people put on sandwiches.
- Anika
stuffing
- VAL D.
Long Island ,NY
- VAL D.
I stuff a bird. Mind you, being from England, that certainly has more than one meaning.
- Ian May
Stuffing. We get it out of a box, but don't cook it inside the turkey (personally, I don't even eat it anyway). I'm familiar with the term dressing, but have never used it in this particular situation. I'm from Massachusetts.
- PENGUIN: MAJOR CAPS LOCK
@faboomama @rochelles @ha3rvey while I do admit to understanding that this is a conversation about American English only, I would probably alert you to the fact that most people in the world who speak English actually speak British English or a close variant of it (including Canadians funnily enough)- thus to many people outside the US, dressing is a perfectly valid term for what you put on salad, and is never used to denote your cornbread thingy
- Snipergirl
though i must admit that the cornbread thingy sounds OM NOM NOM NOM
- Snipergirl
To be even more pedantic, not all dressings/stuffings have cornbread. :)
- Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
stuffing here as well (Washington), though I do here dressing now and then. And in my circles, we rarely have cornbread stuffing, just to be difficult. ;)
- holly
Which is why they're different words to me. Dressing is made with cornbread (or any bread really), but stuffing is mostly meat-based and goes inside the bird.
- Anika
They are two different things, like Anika said, but mostly, I eat cornbread dressing. Mmmm. With cranberry sauce on the side. Oh and turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans and...
- Carmen
Just to blow my own horn, I made a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner with roasted acorn squash with a chestnut and craisin stuffing and mushroom gravy. It was SO GOOD.
- Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
As someone in the midwest, I don't think I've ever called the stuff I put on sandwiches dressing. I wonder where they eat that stuff. Hmmmm. I do call anything I put on a salad, salad dressing.
- Sarah June
Actually, I was thinking about that, most of my family who are from the south originally, but live in the midwest now, call *any* spread to put on sandwiches "salad dressing". I wonder if that's old Southern thing.
- Anika
Maybe. The concoction sounds interesting. :-) I'm kind of plain person when it comes to sandwiches. Usually just mayo. And Ha3rvey, that sounds wonderful.
- Sarah June
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... It is gagalicious.
- Anika
Stuffing, because eating it makes me feel stuffed.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Anika, I thought we were friends. I can't believe you introduced Miracle Whip into one of my food threads. *BLOCKED*
- Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
*shuddder* not Miracle Whip, I think they have the name trademarked. No, this: http://friendfeed.com/fabooma...
- Anika
I thought I remembered a sandwich spread under the Miracle Whip brand name. My google-fu fails me right now, though.
- Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
Ha3rvey, I love you. However, as I have said before, I am a Miracle Whip kind of girl. :P That said, the jar of MW in my kitchen does call itself "dressing," but not "salad dressing." When I was in the UK, I put "salad cream" on my sandwiches.
- Laura B.
Okay, 'salad cream' just gives me the heebie-jeebies. LOL
- Anika
Salad cream: http://www.heinzsaladcream.co.uk/ Not exactly like Miracle Whip, but it will do in a pinch.
- Laura B.
Stuffing. New England.
- Sarah is Novembery

we use both.
- Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Stuffing, I'm from all over the US (mom & dad are too, although the recipe is southern), but we always put it in the bird, so stuffing fits. And it's not meat-based - it's Wonder bread based, with bacon, celery, and poultry seasoning - yummy. In New Orleans, when they ask if you want your po boy dressed, they mean, do you want lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc., which makes sense since the po boy would be almost naked without it.
- Cassandra
Like Rochelle said, we call it stuffing in Seattle and I was born and raised here. My husband is from MN and he calls it dressing. To me, dressing is for salad. Or what you do when you put on clothes. ;-)

"Web developers know the importance of testing web sites and blogs on the different web browsers available. A site/blog can look great on one browser, but if you try to access it on another one, it can probably look garbled. It’s a hassle checking a web site/blog on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc. What if a browser combined the three main browser types, which removed the need to open up three separate browsers?

I'm having low-key stuff with my parents - my mom has surgery on that Monday, and if all goes to plan she'll be home that day. If not, we'll hang out with her up in her room and do dinner another night. She has mentioned at least three times she is happy she isn't the one cooking this year :)

Spending it alone again. I'm moving back to LA in early Dec and I don't have enough $ for it to make sense for me to jet down there just for T-giving. I wish Trader Joe's still carried Cantella's turkey sausage with cranberries because that's a really simple way to get those flavors. Not sure what I'll make to celebrate yet. I should probably focus on actually giving thanks.

Making cornish game hens for a few of my orphan friends in the area and my sister. It'll be small, but festive. Then on Saturday, all of my friends in the area are gathering for a second Thanksgiving, with turkey and tri-tip on the menu. YUM.

We (the SO and I) are having our usual guests (a couple & their 10yr old daughter) plus possibly two more. We are getting our usual fried turkey from Popeye's, and making the fixings.

D, I got the recipe from a cannister of Kroger store brand oatmeal. The flavor reminds me of a pecan pie (without the pecans). IIRC, it's got oatmeal, coconut, corn syrup, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and salt. It's surprisingly good. I usually substitute maple syrup for most of the corn syrup so that it won't be cloyingly sweet. If I remember when I get home tonight, I'll send it to you.

We might go to them, but only if her mom doesn't think having company will be too stressful. I know it's not a cheerful answer, but that's life right now.

Hosting my annual orphan Thanksgiving for all my friends who either have no family, live too far or who just don't hang with their family.
- Leslie Poston
Dr. Pepper ham? That sounds good. And I'm impressed with all of you who host a day for people without somewhere else to go. That's so nice!
- Sarah June
No holiday for me, so no travel and no family. Still, might try cooking a turkey on the grill this year.
- Steven Perez
I'm not sure. Often we do Thanksgiving with Ben's family and I look forward to it a lot. This year (as with the last two) they are trying to combine our families, so we'll see. I love my family but the dynamic for Thanksgiving has never been quite right with us. I am also thinking of having some people over that weekend for post-Thanksgiving meals so that I get to play hostess.
- joey
Going to my parents house and helping my mother cook. Maybe bring some wine with me. I don't think I have the kids this year, so I am glad to have my family with me cause I usually get sad.

Parents, Parents-in-Law, Sister, Aunt-in-Law descend upon us ... FOR A WEEK! Woohoo! (luckily everyone really likes everyone else and we all get along well) (and I have enough comp time that I'll have the week off!) (woo again!)

Having a meal of some sort with friends. I'd love to go home, but it's too far to travel for too short a time.

We had our big holiday meal (so far I've cooked 3 turkeys), we'll be joining my mom and stepfather.

Doing the family dinner tradition, but then Mom and I are escaping for a few days after. Booked a few day trip to Amish country...(this should be interesting). Heading to Lancaster PA from NJ. Getting away from our busy lives and just bringing it down to farm markets, craft shows, and basically getting away...I'm very excited about it actually...Love spending time, One on One with my Mom.
- Bill Heslin
My ex is swiping my kid again (it's supposed to be my year with her) so I'm gonna be at home, watching the cowboys play, eating my turkey sandwich, doing shots of cranberry sauce and gravy, crying into my Stella Artois beverage of choice. Woo to the mudderfuggin' Hoo!

SIL and fam are coming - I think - they'll have been here for the funeral so I hope they're coming back as planned. And my brother and his wife - my other SIL - will come for their second meal of the day, along with my father. Daughter Sarah, age 19, will be in charge of the kitchen; I'll be sous-chef. Menu will be more contemporary than we could have had in previous years, I'll bet.

The parents are still overseas so it will be Thanksgiving (and Christmas) with the in-laws this year. Mother-in-law is cooking this time (as opposed to the last two years where we just went out to eat). She can throw down in the kitchen so it should be good. I miss my Mom's Thanksgiving meals though.
- Got Love For DB™?
Turkey and all of the fixens' at our house. My parents and the in laws are coming over.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Your parents and in-laws intermingle and your house doesn't explode? Amazing.

Thanksgiving, Denmark-style again this year, though we're doing it the weekend before since there is no Thanksgiving here. Also using it to celebrate my darling husband's 30th year gracing the earth. Seems feeding people good food, complete with lots of hygge, helps break down boundaries in any country. It may not be noble, but it's going to be fun. :D
- Bette Cooper

What prompted this: I need to box up and mail some books that have been ordered. There's nothing difficult about this: find a box, put books and packing material in, put addresses inside and out, tape up, take to mailroom. And yet I will put this off for weeks!

What are your favourite schedule-creation tools? And not necessarily a task list or a 'to do' type of thing...but like a way to plan routines as well as projects?

A schedule? (staring blankly). I am not very organized.
- Joe
And no, I am not going to create Gantt charts for my personal life. No, really.
- joey
Like if I want a more robust calendar I guess. Now that I am without a job, I want to set goals for myself on certain projects like writing or online classes or similar. But I also I don't want to be too rigid and I also do have 'to do' lists.
- joey
as long a you use it consistently, almost anything will work. I use iCal and Toodledo (synced w/ ToDo on iPhone).
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
I try to stay flexible yet productive.
- Joe
For to do lists... I like a tangible real world something or another you can physically cross items off of. Legal pad or dry erase board. (very cathartic) And then a digital calendar to check in with from time to time.
- SAM
joey - It sounds to me that you want to make a gantt chart. Take a look at this from lifehacker this week. http://lifehacker.com/5401443...

Pen and paper. There's still probably opportunity here.
- Cristo
I like the weekly planner from 7 habits. choose 5 (or whatever, just don't go too little or too many) roles you have (partner, writer, student, homeowner, ....) then write down 2 goals for each that you want to accomplish. so partner: date night, plan honeymoon. writer: 5000 words. student: sign up for ___ class. you get the idea. Works for me (when I use it!)
- Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Google calendar and Thunderbird. Without these, I don't know what's going on. Ever.
- Jeremy
I like to make my schedules in a bound graph paper notebook. I usually have one standard sized box in the top left corner with the daily schedule, and then a bunch of different sized boxes on the same page (containing related longer term goals, notes about what I did that day, to-do lists, whatever else is applicable) and also annotate with drawings and such. It sounds kind of...
more...
- Alexis Hope
I have a one for work and a different one for school. I use Gcal and its reminder/task system for most things and even created an IT scheduler in Gcal where people can schedule IT tasks with me. For school I use Soshiko. It notifies me of assignments before they are due and what the requirements are. I can even upload the papers associated with the assignment so everything is in one place.
