Marilyn Monroe's Stuffing

I've always been a big Marilyn Monroe fan and found the recipe for stuffing attributed to her and the NY Times article fascinating. Here's a link: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/10/dining/10marilyn.html?emc=eta1 . I don't think I'll make it for Thanksgiving, but maybe over the Christmas holidays.

Fascinating read. I did not know that Joltin Joe eschewed garlic to "assimilate"

For those who may have had trouble reading the scrawling on the original in her handwriting, I typed it out, including the mis-spelled words.

I can't wrap my head around the hard-boiled eggs!

I can't wrap my head around the idea that Marilyn could cook!

And how many people, upon seeing the title, thought about other aspects of Ms. Monroe? (psssttt.. Jenise?)

Not guilty this time! Perhaps only because I had already read about it elsewhere, so I knew what Howie was getting at, but still.

Stuffing Marilyn Monroe? Nothing salacious about that!

Jenise - not into boiled eggs as a bulker for stuffings? Makes sense just as much as grains, no?
