"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
Directions:
Make cornbread (DO NOT use corn muffin mix or other mixes - use white, self rising cornmeal for best results - mixes will have sugar and will make dressing sweet

Add 1 egg, buttermilk, salt and pepper to cornmeal and mix- should be consistency of applesauce or pancake mix (should not be dry)

Pour into greased cast iron skillet and bake in the open at 400 degrees until golden brown- should pull away from sides of pan when done - top may be cracked (approximately 25-30 minutes)

Boil chicken or turkey giblets until they are done. Use the broth from the boiled giblets as liquid in your dressing

Mix all other ingredients with cornbread - use potato masher to mask bread and crackers so there are no lumps or large pieces. Add seasonings to taste - the more sage the better the dressing - refrigerate left over - may add broth or water and mix again to reheat if needed.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Always a favorite in our house - simple to make and feeds a good crowd. There are no real measurements - it all depends on the size of the hoecake of cornbread - if a very small cake of bread use less of the other ingredients - you decide - you can more or less of anything as you and your family like
