I also should stop. But there are all those orts--and I STILL
need a proper dinner.

Have you posted you cornbread stuffing recipe? (I can search.
For that matter, if you have, I probably have it squirreled away
somewhere.)

I started doing a search on stuffing/dressing muffins. The
technique seems promising, so I think I'll try that again. Some
folks make balls instead of muffins, and I think that might be
even better. BUT the muffins tended to fall apart (hint later
acquired: let them cool a bit before you pry them from the pan).
I think then the ideal approach may be to make them ahead as
muffins, and then reheat on a baking sheet, or not touching each
other or the sides of a pan, to crisp up the exterior.
