You sure are a good and resourceful mother!

Thanks but that's simple stuff if you make bread.

Think about types of crushed nuts you like in there.  Roast
them at the side then have them available as sprinkles on the
stuffing.  Bits of fruits set aside for sprinkles.

 
Interesting... lingonberries... they are quite sour, would that
still work? Or would you use sweeter berries?

 
Oh, I just recalled you liked them but no flavor came to mind.  I
would use sweeter berries or just omit.

 
Hmm, maybe something sweeter like blueberries or perhaps blackberries
would do?

Yes, either one.  PS: I don't think they are traditional in the USA but
Mom often made stuffing from store bought raisen bread and we all liked
it.  She didn't bake stuffing in the bird (fine by us) as it's faster
without.  Turns out safer too (food safety).  The reason for them on
the side is to let folks choose what they like.

Macademia nuts would be great but even in Hawaii, they aren't cheap.

I assume like most of the world, you have some 'harvest festival'?
Generically we call it 'Thanksgiving' and normally a fall harvest.
October Fest is a sample of it.  Canada has one a month earlier
because it's north of us so 'harvest' is earlier (that's what I've
been told).

 
Nothing comes to mind really.

Odd but ok.

I don't understand why we have to import the Helloween spectacle to
sweden, with all the candy and stress it brings with it. The wife
likes it, I personally, prefer the boring tradition of lighting a
candle and thinking about death in a peaceful place.

LOL! Kids love it!  Dress up time!
