Hahaha, I didn’t properly learn the English word for ‘lanttu’ (rutabaga) until I was in my twenties. My family just called them turnips, which was confusing and incorrect since a) turnips and rutabagas taste/look different and b) it’s not a translation error, ‘nauris’ is turnip. It didn’t come up before that because…

Stuffing...waffles?? Stuffing waffles! STUFFING WAFFLES!!! You have changed my life for the better.

Whenever I encounter a new word like that, like a normal human being, I used Google.

I must know how you pulled this off. Did you have to just....run around peeing? I can’t even imagine it!

“No. We don’t eat that.” may be the best response EVAR to someone being completely food unreasonable.

I had bleacher seats at the RickRolled Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! Yes, through a generous acquaintance who worked at Macy’s corporate.

I’d never liked stuffing because of the texture. Then my husband prepared the leftovers on a waffle iron and now it’s the part of the Thanksgiving meal I look forward to the most, the leftover stuffing waffles.

We went to NYC for the parade on actual Thanksgiving, intending to have the big dinner on Friday instead. That was a fun year - it was the year the Comedy Central float RickRolled the parade (where we were standing he was still out ON the float and not hiding inside for the stunt) and I, a long-time unironic Rick…

Female, but non-native English speaker, so still had to google, thought it was the anatomic part, so the image in my head was super weird!

Stove Top is good! It wouldn’t be a successful product if it was wretched. And let’s face it, unless you’ve got a really good recipe and experience, most homemade stuffing is a lot trickier to render taste-and-texture pleasing than you’d think.

Yup. Thing is, stuffing and gravy and other things like that aren’t made on the regular anymore--once or twice a year is the usual for most families. So it’s not like the average person is going to be taste testing a bunch of different stuffings and going this one’s from a box! Easy to get away with “homemade means I…

Is it the meatloaf recipe on the back of the chicken flavored Stove Top? That’s one of my staple dinners.

I have a meatloaf recipe that is made with Stove Top.  It’s darn tasty!  And takes about 3 minutes to prepare.

Its 2018, i may be pregnant. If i am its great, but after two miscarriages the stress and hope is sucking a lot if the joy out. 

I was obsessed with Stove Top in high school. The summer after my senior year, a friend of mine from school died suddenly. My high school friends and I all were going to meet at a movie, and we all just went anyway and met outside of the theater and told everyone who didn’t already know what happened. That night,…

When I was going through my Vegan Phase (TM) in my early 20s,  my mom, aunts, and grandma all pitched in, separately and with no coordination, to make me different vay-gan food (I begged them not to). I got a plate of...mush. MUSH. Mashed cauliflower, mashed potatoes, mashed SWEET potatoes, applesauce, cranberry sauce.…

One Thanksgiving, I’ll guess I was about ten maybe, my grandfather left the living room to use the bathroom. It was the half bath in the hallway between the kitchen and the front door. Me, my sister, and my cousin were in the kitchen looking toward the hallway when my grandfather collapsed, with a loud bang. I can…

True story, my family never had stuffing on the Thanksgiving table when I was little. (We’re pretty culturally tied to the motherland, not all of the North American traditions sunk in with my Mummo. Lanttulaatikko was mandatory instead.) Then, my brother tried it at a friend’s house and was raving about how much he…

We go to MrOjib’s parents house for dinner. Last year, his stepmom’s sister, husband and adult daughter came.

My mother is a narcissistic nightmare, and also a complete blasphemy to anything to do with food prep. She had a spaghetti sauce that was really nothing more than ketchup. Her personal nemesis was the box brownie mix. We either ate it with a spoon or chiseled it out as kids.
