Persephone's Comments

My grandmother and mother always made a dressing using store-bought bread cubes, and then adding celery, onions, stuffing seasoning (a sage-based seasoning by Schilling), salt, pepper, butter, chicken broth (yes, very similar to DrWhat's recipe), but the most important ingredient was eggs. The eggs make the stuffing into a savory bread pudding. We always cooked it in the bird, and the flavor would be absorbed into the turkey from the inside, and the stuffing came out moist and delicious.

We're also aluminum foil turkey cooks. After slathering the turkey with salted butter inside and out, stuffing and trussing it shut, we put foil over the whole thing and fasten it tightly to the pan. We don't go near the turkey until the last hour or so, when we check the temperature, then loosen the foil and start basting it with butter. The last half hour or so the foil comes off completely, the turkey is basted again, and by the time it's done it has a wonderfully crispy brown skin and stays moist on the inside.

That was an extremely shortsighted and poorly researched article. It focused on the upper classes and skilled trades/middle classes, completely ignoring the major section of the population that was poor. It also started in the Middle Ages, completely ignoring the several thousand years of recorded human history prior to that time.

I detest articles like this, as a they give a skewed view of history, and people believe them.

I live in the Bay Area and work in Silicon Valley. Many of the wealthier areas are in the hills, real hills, on narrow roads, hidden among trees. I'll drive down a different street during my commute and discover whole new, hidden neighborhoods, or nearly empty rural swatches of land.

A lot of these very nice, expensive areas don't have access to cable yet because of where they're located. Cable runs on cable, and if cable hasn't been installed, you can't get it. That leaves many of these wealthy types with, at best, phone plans from AT&T or Verizon, and they are a lot slower than a high-speed cabled connections.
