Wednesday Hodgepodge

Time once again to join Joyce over at From This Side of the Pond for Wednesday Hodgepodge.

1. Let's start with something controversial...dressing or stuffing? What's it called at your house and what's included in your recipe...cornbread? oysters? sausage? chestnuts? 
 
We call it stuffing and it's made with cornbread, giblets, celery, onion and LOTS of sage.
 
2. Who do you sometimes compare yourself to?

I don't think I compare myself to anyone.
 
3. When were you last inside an airport?

That would have been when I flew to Texas for my son's wedding.
 
4. What is one side dish that absolutely must be included in a turkey dinner?


My daughter would have a fit if there was not green bean casserole on the table.

5. What Christmas song do you dread hearing?

I love them all.
 
6. If someone approaches you and asks for money do you give it to them? Do you drop money 'in a tin cup' that belongs to a person on the street? Do you have a specific charity you support during the holiday season and/or year round?

We don't really have people with "tin cups" around here being we are in a rural area. I believe I would if there were. I do try to drop money in the Salvation Army's pots that are around this time of year and I try to take a name from the local "Tree of Angels" and buy for that child.
 
7. Share a favorite Thanksgiving memory. If you live in a country that doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving share a favorite memory associated with food.

I have lots of Thanksgiving memories. My favorite would be the year my son joined the Air Force. He was scheduled to leave so we had Thanksgiving early  and invited EVERYONE. My house has never been that full either before or since. It was a good day.
 
8. Insert your own random thought here.

Friday the Christmas decorations will come out and Thanksgiving will be forgotten. I look forward to decorating for Christmas but I feel bad that Thanksgiving is not a more prominent holiday. I've enjoyed participating in the Giving Thanks Challenge this month and believe we should all be more conscious about giving thanks for what we have.
