GREEN PARROT DRESSING

2 pts. web bread   1 1-1/2 pts. dry corn bread
1 c. diced celery 1 c. diced onions
1 c. butter or meat fryings Cooked liver and gizzard chopped fine
Salt, pepper, and sage, to taste  
 

Pour cold water over white bread, which is at least two days old and very dry and hard, and allow it to stand until thoroughly soaked.  Squeeze water from the bread, and measure two pints.  Add crumbled corn bread.  Sauté the celery and onions in butter or meat fryings in a covered skillet until clear and tender.  Pour the contents of the skillet into the bread and corn bread mixture, and blend.  Season to taste.  Add chopped liver and gizzard, and bake in a well oiled pan in slow oven.  The dressing should be quite moist, as it will dry out in baking.
