So, you know Thanksgiving?

[notodette]

That holiday where I'm expected to make an entire turkey, a GABILLION sides, and several homemade desserts? That holiday I've ignored for the three years since I've had my own family b/c it scares me so much

YOU DID IT.

But next year, go with box stuffing and go all out on the cranberry sauce. It is SO SO EASY.

Here, let me tell you about my super amazing cranberry sauce that makes my family adore me:

1 bag Ocean Spray cranberries
1 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
as much cinnamon as you want, plus one more sprinkle
1 small apple, chopped

Bring orange juice, sugar, and cinnamon to a boil. Add cranberries and apple, bring back to a boil, then simmer on low for about 10-12 minutes. Call your girls in to exclaim over the cranberries popping. Transfer to bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

I am telling you, you will never touch the canned stuff again.

I do something very similar and yeah, it's the bomb.

I will make this for Christmas.

I cannot stress how important the "watching the cranberries pop" stage is. The 3 and 4 year old were in absolute awe.

Oh hi hey there howdy. Happy thanksgiving, just hanging out on someone else's livejournal no big deal.

I see you around everywhere and have wanted to be friends for FOREVER and today I got the courage to ask. May I add you?

[notodette]

Oh, of course! You're from artic, right? And Yassie's friend? I have to warn you, though, I'm not always telling off a major holiday.

Your comment is still cracking me up, btw.

Fuck homemade desserts but bring on fresh cranberry sauce and stuffing in turkey! We had dinner with family today and we're doing our own tomorrow. You know... for the leftovers.

I love me some cranberry sauce shaped like a can. It's the only way I eat cranberry sauce.

I love you. So much.
