My thoughts:

I made an Old Bay-rubbed turkey together with arranged these stuffing balls roughly it. In Southern Maryland the specialty is stuffed ham. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 large ham is stuffed amongst kale, spices, cabbage together with onion together with thus boiled (often inward a flannel shirt or pillowcase!). It is tricky to notice a stuffed ham all the agency upwards hither inward Baltimore thus I compromised together with came upwards amongst this stuffed ham-inspired "stuffing". I used smoked ham together with the same ingredients I'd materials a ham amongst together with added slightly sweetness murphy bread. It was thus good! Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lilliputian unlike only non thus wacky anyone would plough their olfactory organ upwards at it.
