Holiday Dinner Reconsidered? Lawrence Henry has removed the "glut" from "gluttony" and we are left with a very tony sounding menu, completely devoid of anything to give thanks for. If his turkey stuffing is gluey, he's got the wrong recipe, or is taking "stuffing" too literally -- it doesn't mean packing.

Also, you start out with bread "crumbs," you are going to wind up with soggy, wet crumbs.

After his entire family has turned on him for that Mexican rice dish substitute, he would be well advised to look to a good Southern stuffing recipe.

Congratulations on trying something new for the holidays. I also have done that on occasion. I found this recipe for a very light and delicious cranberry relish... it's great and deserves a try. Very simple to make.

p>2 bags fresh cranberries br> 1 cup sugar br> 1/4 cup grand marnier liq. br> 1 orange zested and juiced (perhaps a little more juice) /p>
