Oyster Dressing

I had fried oysters for Christmas dinner, which reminded me of my sisters' favorite oyster dressing recipe. This is the only oyster dressing they will eat.

1/4 - 1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup margarine
3 cups soft bread cubes
1/2 - 1 teaspoon rubbed, dried sage leaves
1/4 teaspoon crushed, dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 - 1 cup hot chicken broth
NO oysters

Cook celery and onion in margaine, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender. Put bread into a deep bowl. Add cooked vegetables and seasonings to bread. Add enough broth to cover bread (amount will depend on how dry the bread is and how soft you like dressing.) Don't forget to add NO oysters! You can add a small handful of dried cranberries if you like sweet dressing, but absolutely NO oysters. Mix ingredients just enough to distribute seasonings then put into greased, 1 quart casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes.
