Specifically with DS, 17?
V V V Lighthearted!
My mother got a great recipe about 40 odd years ago and we had it for Xmas lunch for a few years until one year we did a turkey Easter lunch (not usual for our family). She made the stuffing for that and it kind of spoiled it as it looked like Xmas, tasted like Xmas but it wasnt Xmas. Not her fault, she hated it more than everyone else did!
Then I asked about the recipe when I was in my early twenties and made as an add on for Xmas day. Went down a storm and it became my contribution since then. I have tweaked it over the years so now it is "Pyongs Stuffing".
DS loves cooking and has started cooking with his elderly grandfather who loves teaching DS. He asked me about the stuffing in time for Xmas and I said that I should really write it down so that he and his 5 siblings have it to use themselves.
He has asked me to talk him through making it this year so he can take over and while I love it.....I still kind of feel that I am the one who makes the stuffing! I am nearly 50 and really shouldnt care but my father does the chicken (we all hate turkey), sister does the gammon, BIL does the roasties, I do the stuffing and my mother does the pigs. We all have our jobs! I want to share the recipe but not lose "my job"!
