I have the same problem with canned cranberry sauce as I have with Jello. Food should not move.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
DH just sent out an email suggesting lingonberry sauce instead of cranberry sauce. Heretic

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?
I've been eating cinnamon rolls (teh yum! I'm proud of myself) and watching The West Wing. It's on the final episode and I'm crying like a baby.
I'm also feeling a bit lightheaded and figured out that it's because I can actually breathe well today and my brain is getting honest to God oxygen. First day in over a week.

I'm eating Trader Joe's sweet potato chips. They are good, but not filling the pumpkin pancake void that Hec created.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Mimi's cafe has pumpkin pancakes right now. They aren't as good as Zazie's, but they are close, and there are Mimi's in LA.
