Thank you Snodderly, Lois (lol), Being Me, and Cadet (lol).

This was the email I received from H -

"Do you have a recipe for your stuffing or do you do it out of your head?"

My reply -

"I just make that out of my head."

His question was short and to the point and taking Snodderly's advice, I answered in the same way. There was so much more I wanted to say...

Cadet, Along with not liking to cook, there are other things ow doesn't like to do...Salt Peter would not be necessary. It did cross my mind to invite him to Thanksgiving dinner.

I know we're not supposed to assume, but I can only surmise there must be some things H is missing that came from being part of our family.

The holidays were a big deal to him and I did my part in trying to make them special as well. I still do to the extent that I'm able.

Kind of funny that H wants to recreate that. I guess the MLCer does think of their former lives every now and then.
