Whole cranberry for my sister and I -- DH and BIL don't eat it. I think DH will eat the can stuff, but it is wrong. orange , cinnamon and a shot of something goes in it.
Sending all the peace toward your mom and your family, Bev.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
seasonal-only pumpkin spice pancakes.
I remember having those when I came out there for that Halloween O' Debauchery. Those were excellent.
(Everything sounds yummy right now, since lunch is STILL NOT HERE. I just want my soup in a bread bowl, damn it.)

Today is the last day of TCG's very long weekend. We have been busy running around all weekend, and I am hurty and tired. I really want to veg today, but he's running around cleaning so now I feel guilty.

I have the same problem with canned cranberry sauce as I have with Jello. Food should not move.

I usually do my cranberries with port, a healthy amount of nutmeg, and a dash of vanilla. I believe I still have a jar from last year (when I got smart, and actually canned the stuff instead of having to rush to make it before the big day).

I love reading about people's different takes on holiday foods. I was raised in a cranberries-inna-can family, but I've since branched out, at least as far as eating goes. Haven't tried making the less gelatinous versions. I'll be going to a pre-Thanksgiving potluck that would be a great place to try it, but I've already signed up for dessert. (My granny smith brown sugar apple pie's pretty fool-proof.)

It's a long story, but I just found out my schedule will be opening up a lot at the end of this month. More time to think...just what I wanted. Like a thing that's not. Sigh.

Any allspice or mace, Plei? I like the warm sound of yours-- not that I have anything against orange, it just doesn't always agree with me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So, what's the story, Bunk? This is the place for those kind of stories.
