Six-Word Memoirs with SMITH Mag

Turkey stuffing, with giblets, not raisins

Backstory

Growing up, Grandma's holiday stuffing was traditional:dried bread,celery,onion,and broth made from the turkey neck meat and giblets, which were shredded into the mixture. When I married, my husband was grossed out by giblets and insisted on raisins. My solution was to divide the mixture, adding giblets to half and raisins to the rest and stuffing the neck cavity with the giblet mix for Mom and me and the body with the stuffing contaminated with raisins for the rest of the family.
