This was soooooo good!!  Moist and not dried out!! Most stuffing is so dried out and boring that I am not interested in eating it.

I am hoping this week to here if I get the requested accommodation or not.  I have been with Advantage Sales and Marketing now for three years.  They now require that every Event Specialist has to cook.  Linda has been helping me to learn to use the microwave and oven.  So, I don’t see why they wont let me have the accommodation.  I am asking not to use frying pan.  I am able to do everything else but that.  As with every thing it is in God’s hands.
