If you're going to be ill, do it in Wales, I guess. It sounds like you're having the year I had last year. Feel better.

Meanwhile, you can put all kinds of crap in your stuffing, just don't stint on the onion and celery. Some possibilities include mushrooms (cheap) and artichoke hearts (less so) or nuts like pecans or hazelnuts (the latter probably easier to get there) or dried fruit like cranberries. A little wine in the added liquid can be nice. Eh, hard to go wrong with this stuff, really.
