The brother-in-law is watching his team lose at football. I am myself unexpectedly a fan of American football, tho' not of the Dallas Cowboys; but I am summoning up fraternal sympathy (the 49ers not playing today), while I fidget in the kitchen. I am making stuffing. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I have adopted the principle that pork and bread and celery and onion and sage and apple is going to make something nice, whatever happens. I'm frying little balls of it to check the spicing, but it's confusing: I used part sausagemeat and part fresh pork, and I'm not sure how well they've mixed, so I don't know whether the spicing that I taste is constant or just that little bit. However. I think I'm going to go with it. Now I have to figure out how to stuff & truss a turkey. Never done this, either...
