Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So, who's got a good cranberries recipe for Thanksgiving. It's the only thing I'm not sure about

We use the recipe on the back of the Ocean Spray bag but cut the sugar by half.

I am a heretic and add orange zest as well.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The can-shape-ness is the best part!

Seriously! Especially when you can still the ridges!

Oh you HAVE to have the ridges! Otherwise it's just a tube-shaped lump of cranberry congeal-y stuff.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am a heretic for not liking cranberries at all - either canned or not. BUH-LECH. PTUI.

Because books.

The ridges are there to guide your cutting. Nice, even slices.

See?!

Clearly Teppy and ChiKat and I are right. ::preens::

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

If you are, then I am, too. I don't like them, either.

That's why I'm stuck eating the stuff out of a can each Thanksgiving. There aren't enough people in my family who like cranberries to make it worth while to make the real thing.

Clearly Teppy and ChiKat and I are right.

I will graciously let you three have all the can shaped cranberry gel you like this Thanksgiving. No complaints here if I'm left to eat the fresh, homemade cranberry sauce.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Just following the directions on the package of fresh cranberries gets me as many compliments as I need - but you do seem to have set the bar higher for yourself.

My mom used to make apple pies by not adding any sugar or cinnamon, but just mushing a can of cranberry sauce into the apples. That gets rave reviews, and recipe requests.

Nice, even slices.

It fits tidily on the plate and doesn't migrate into the mashed potatoes. Which shouldn't have lumps.

Me too! I freaked out the year my mother tried to make the homemade version.
