Dating makes you realize really stupid things about yourself. I’ve realized it’s a non-negotiable for me to have cornbread stuffing at Thanksgiving. If someone was similarly attached we could make that too.

I guess I anticipated different stuffing/dressing recipes in San Francisco where a lot of people move to from different areas of the country. I just thought the South was firmly cornbread stuffing/dressing.

I love my in-laws oh so very much, but I generally used to not like going there for Thanksgiving. It's not because I don't love them. It's not because my mother-in-law isn't a phenomenal chef, she used to work for Ina Garden. It's because we didn't have what I would consider a traditional Thanksgiving meal most of the time. It's not what I grew up with and I need what I grew up with. I want regular mashed potatoes. I want noodles. I want corn. We now have these things. And I'm super happy. We'll be going there this year and I'm looking forward to it.

My point is, everyone has their traditions and it's hard to break them.

Noodles? You’re gonna have to send me a picture on Thanksgiving. I’ve never heard of noodles as part of a Thanksgiving meal. I’m curious.

Also I loved that y’all worked it out over the years. I prefer to keep most things traditional for Turkey day and don’t try more than 2 new recipes. They’re basically always the salad/vegetable or a dessert because the Turkey, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole all traditional.
