My late uncle Patrick O'Toole was a natural chef, a superb master in the kitchen. Several of his recipes have been handed down to his siblings and children. My father in particular has taken on many of the dishes.
There are recipes Patrick prepared exclusively at Thanksgiving. A few of them have also become a tradition in my family, thanks to my father.
Uncle Pat's Stuffing
Corn bread stuffing mix (packaged)
In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together well. If dry, add extra chicken broth. Stuff the cavity of the bird for cooking; or layer evenly in a casserole dish and bake for twenty minutes at 325-degrees F (or until hot). Use half to stuff the bird; bake the other half in the casserole dish.
The mouth-watering appetizer Uncle Pat's Crab Cocktail is also a given at Thanksgiving.
Wilbert doesn't care for shellfish, so this year I may have to prepare the cocktail for myself. We are staying home this holiday season, the four of us: me, my husband, and our "babies" Foofer and Rainee.
