But still looks good! I will check out Tudor Tailor’s Typical Tudor—sounds like my kind of thing. In return, I recommend How to Dress like a Tudor, by @jarnopp.bsky.social. So much good information there!

I am deeply interested in the Tudor period. This is as fine a “goodwife” costume as I have ever seen. Clothes of merchants & farmers were rarely portrayed in paintings of the period, but this has an authentic feel. You probably already know, goodwife was the term for a female head of household.)

Yes. Yes, it is.

OK, ya got me. Ya got me!

I followed a combination of the old Joy of Cooking recipe and a recipe for baking dressing outside the bird at Seasons and Suppers. I go heavier on seasonings than suggested, but your mileage may vary! www.seasonsandsuppers.ca/classic-brea...

Holy shite! Got it done. Taste marvellous. Will warm it in the oven tomorrow; might cheat and broil for some crispy bits. (Because who doesn’t like crispy bits?) Thanks for playing along, everyone!

A lovely pan of baked dressing!

Catherine @cateditorial.bsky.social · 1d

Checked in with the dressing in oven. Almost done!

Catherine @cateditorial.bsky.social · 1d

This made me laugh out loud!

Catherine @cateditorial.bsky.social · 1d

Me too!

It’s actually kinda rewarding to make it from scratch. (Or well, not so scratchy, as I used store-bought breadcrumbs and chicken broth instead of stock).

Catherine @cateditorial.bsky.social · 1d

And now, and now, we have reached halftime! Dressing comes out of the oven for another small rain of chicken broth (yes, shouldda used stock, but they didn’t have it at the local grocery store, and so we must needs make do).

A lovely pan of baked turkey dreading is at its halfway point.

Catherine @cateditorial.bsky.social · 1d

OK, I couldn’t resist. I checked the oven. All is well.

Catherine @cateditorial.bsky.social · 1d

Goodness sakes, yes! And why not take the easy way every now and then?

Catherine @cateditorial.bsky.social · 1d

Now we pause and wait, and turn our thoughts elsewhere. The baking is happening!

Catherine @cateditorial.bsky.social · 1d

The onion-celery-herb mixture and the breadcrumbs have met and married. They are now consummating their relationship in the oven. Since I am baking the dressing outside the bird (only cooking a turkey breast this Thanksgiving) I added a little chicken broth before the pan went into the oven.

A roasting pan full of uncooked dressing waits, ready for the oven.

Catherine @cateditorial.bsky.social · 1d

Here are the breadcrumbs. (Yes, I cheated and bought a bag from the local grocery store.)

A generous heap of breadcrumbs sits in a glass bowl, ready to commune with the onion-celery-herb mixture, as soon as it’s ready.

Catherine @cateditorial.bsky.social · 1d

I’m making dressing today for tomorrow’s turkey dinner. Want to come along on this little enterprise with me? Updates to follow

A large frying pan sits on a glass cooktop. The pan is filled with sautéed onions, celery, and herbs. The foundation of the dressing is right here in this pan!

Are we accused of neglect? Then we are probably guilty.
