I used to make cooked cranberry sauce with hazelnuts. Haven't made it in years; I prefer cranberry-orange relish, which is uncooked and uses dates instead of sugar. It's already in the fridge.
There is an entire subreddit devoted to this kind of thing. People make godawful substitutions, then give the recipe a negative review when they don't like the result.
tell that to Mr Hyde when he takes over my body at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning to start the annual Swearfest Bacchanalia that is Fucking Up Bird All Day and cooking other shitty sides for ingrates...
I remain profoundly concerned regarding the safety and well-being of these witnesses. It's only a matter of time before someone else is injured or killed in response to Drumpfuck's less than veiled commands.
Half of me thinks that is what will be required to get ANY judicial action to shut PAB up. The other half thinks that too many people love the Eschaton Extravaganza (rather like Ammosexual AmurriKKKa) for anything ever to be done.
I doubt anything short of him personally assaulting a witness, judge, or clerk will result in any consequences. Even then I'd be doubtful. It's absurd to see how much he keeps getting away with.
Well ... first, that GA judge is the White dude judge.
You remember DA Fani Willis asked for that protective order back in September, but he didn't grant it until after defense counsel leaked those videos (and then had the nerve to confess).
Relatively well-off White / White-presenting male cis straight dudes don't have the same sense of urgency about some of the messes that could befall us all as the rest of us (except for the science-y AI dudes, who loudly hand-wring over a hypothetical "end of world omg" scenario in an effort not to grapple with the equity mess AI has already made because of the GIGO assumptions they pump in it).
You know, Jeebus makes plants that are bad for you taste bad. Maybe we should pay attention to the fact that natural fresh-from-the-Creator cranberries taste bad.
If you shred it with some other veggies (softer onions, red & green cabbage, yellow peppers) and dress w/a wine vinegar-based dressing w/shallots & let that joker marinate overnight in that, it can be kind of nice
When I've served that as a summer salad, nobody has ever told me they didn't like it -- and though my friends are extraordinarily polite, my family isn't, but if people don't like what I cook they don't eat it, and not a lot of that is left when I serve it (alongside whatever meat/fish is getting grilled, ofc)
"Do not ruin everything, okay? Using not-so-much sugar produces a tart but still sweet-enough relish that is to be served with savory dishes like turkey and dressing, right?"
UGH...that gives me a flashback to what I think was my worst Thanksgiving ever...
Went to a potluck with my now ex-boyfriend's friends. Brought a cranberry dish. Someone bitched loudly enough for me to hear (and I was in plain sight, so it's not as if she thought I wouldn't notice) that they hadn't brought *their* cranberry dish since I signed up to bring mine, and they apparently didn't like mine because it wasn't sweet enough.
I'm shorter than anybody in the world, and I find these fuckshits' boxes and lifts and heels hilarious. It's gotten to the point that I've started looking up Republican men's heights whenever antics arise. It always seems to be a lie.
While it's an awfully small target to attempt to impact I'd be delighted to make Mullin whine in the soprano range via a swift, sharp knee to his tiny tackle.
Presuming his wee testes haven't already fled back up behind his prostate.
Wait, isn't it MULLIN'S party that is in total thrall to the petroleum industry, you know, that industry that sets the prices for his precious diesel fuel?
"Mullin complained Tuesday about the price of gas for his diesel F-250 truck being $4.68 a gallon — despite GasBuddy showing the fuel selling for much less in his home state...
Congress, not the president, can usher in price controls on fuel. When such a measure came up for a vote, Mullin voted against it."
What I'm tired of is people buying horsepower and not using it. You've bought a big truck, you inched the whole damn thing over the line while the light was red because you're in a hurry, so why are we doing 5 mph through the intersection?
I doubt I'd like cranberries anyway, but the only cranberry anything I was introduced to as a kid was the cranberry sauce in a can, which my mom's parents would heat up and then slice. You could still see the shape of the can on the slices. That was definitely not a good first impression.
See, and for me it’s not thanksgiving without that. I discovered how much better turkey is with cranberry sauce than gravy a decade ago. Now I could probably eat the whole can myself.
"Now drizzle a couple-five shots of bourbon on the berries."
Aha, alcohol!
This reminds of that "health remedy" that's been going around for years to treat arthritis and other rheumatoid problems, which consists of drinking a glass of gin with NINE raisins soaking in it. My mom swore by it, as I discovered on one visit home. I told her I was pretty sure she could skip the raisins.
My Granddad (and now my Dad) drank a tot of rum every morning of his adult life, except for when he was serving in WWII. Per him, so did his father and grandfather.

"slide it in the pyrex"
They really do say that, too
😄
I don't have any bourbon or cranberries, so I just used tequila and spicy V8 in a glass. Came out pretty good.
If I could only consume one thing for the rest of my life, it would be spicy V8. With or without booze :))

I love that subreddit. Maybe some are true.
That's a Bloody Maria!
Oh, and don't take cooking, or Thanksgiving, too seriously. Geez, you guys.

He's already publicly stated the same.

So - yep. There you go
Well spotted.

I must disagree. I love them in salads with vinaigrette.
So do potatoes and eggplant, and you'll pry those from my well-fed hands. :p
Eggplant tastes bad?
Nobody told me
I wouldn't recommend eating one raw.
If you shred it with some other veggies (softer onions, red & green cabbage, yellow peppers) and dress w/a wine vinegar-based dressing w/shallots & let that joker marinate overnight in that, it can be kind of nice

That sounds interesting. Usually I roast it for babaganous, stir fry or eggplant parm.
I hadn't thought about a salad.
Wait, where’s the pineapple?
:0O

Yeah...Julia Child says fuck you, sweetie...
I could make this. I have the bourbon.
It’s good. Do eet. (It does need more sugar than Ken calls for though.)

Self-loathing, over-compensating wusses, all.

I think that's when you get the F350.

"That's different."

OFFS...
$4.68 a gallon....its $4.99 a gallon here for regular here and its come DOWN 20 cents this month
$6.99 in Cali. Fortunately I drive a '79 Beetle and my commute is 6 miles a day (thank you, agoraphobia!)
wee bee lucky... I saw $2.97 for regular this a.m.
Little man who has never done any physical labor in his entire life and has no use for a pick-up truck has the biggest pick-up imaginable.
That's an even more obvious sign of insecurity in his manhood than guns are.
"Sorry to hear about your dick, bro."
"But, but, but, I have a *yuuuuuuge* penis substitute. You're not supposed to notice!"
"Um, that's what *makes* me notice, dumbass."
Time to get the focus group back together. Sen. Markwayne "Powerstroke" Mullen? Or Sen. Markwayne "Big Truck" Mullen?
His friends call him "Tonka".
He has friends??? They should have a word
"Acquaintances".
Not so much friends as people who will tolerate his presence for various reasons.
Trade it in for something smaller then, TwoNames.
What I'm tired of is people buying horsepower and not using it. You've bought a big truck, you inched the whole damn thing over the line while the light was red because you're in a hurry, so why are we doing 5 mph through the intersection?
Hot sportscars that do 5 mph below the limit....
drives me batshit.
I'd temper that depending on the traffic conditions around them, but if there's open road in front of them, yeah.
Good point. Why indeed?
I always laff at the clowns driving off-the-road vehicles who have obviously never driven off the road in their lives...
It's telling when those very aggressive tires are worn to highway tread in the middle from only being driven on pavement.
You can hear those tires from a mile away.
Don't complain about gas prices or gas mileage.
"NOT MANLY ENUFF!," says GOP caricature
I'll bet he has truck nutz.
At least then he can say he has a pair.
Or at least duallys
Sen. Markwayne "Dually" Mullen.
Matches his two first names...
Our is tasty and simple. Just cranberries and orange marmalade and a bit of simple syrup..
I didn’t know until my 30s that gelatin is not vegetarian. I had assumed it was powered sugar bolstered with something akin to baking powder.
Moo!
My understanding of its actual source? Neigh!

My brother in law claims that the indentations from the can enhance the flavor. Mechanical engineer for ya.
she served the canned stuff HOT?!?!?
that MONSTER!
Desserts with real cranberries are sublime. I make Cranberry Tassies and Cranberry Upside-Down Cake to die for.
There's actually a good use for cranberry sauce in a can - as a spread for turkey sandwiches.
Heat up? No, fresh from the can is best.
It has been a very long time, so I may be misremembering the heat.
See, and for me it’s not thanksgiving without that. I discovered how much better turkey is with cranberry sauce than gravy a decade ago. Now I could probably eat the whole can myself.

Why nine? Has anyone ever been able to explain that?
My Granddad (and now my Dad) drank a tot of rum every morning of his adult life, except for when he was serving in WWII. Per him, so did his father and grandfather.
Were they pirates?
No, though Great-Granddad was a moon-cusser (rum-runner) in his youth.
Rum is just a thing in Florida, I guess...
This actually does sound good.
And easier than the stovetop version.
