And one hates to just toss decent stuff, even when it's just a tad
left...  (G)

I do less from scratch than I did at one time... good reasons both pro
and con, for us...  :)

There is that... and that is actually a good part of why I started going
that route...  :)

I know the feeling...  ;)  I usually use stock or broth when I make the
pre-mix stuffing, even if it just calls for water.  And toss in the
celery and onions in the butter to saute while it melts..  Got this huge
bag of dried cranberries at BJs a while ago... stuffings often get a
large handful or two of them, just on general principles... ;)
