holiday dos and don'ts
Don't jump into a panda enclosure and try to hug the panda. They have large teeth and will bite you.
Don't freak out about Thanksgiving dinner. Some people are content with Stove Top stuffing! And when you go overboard with the meal preparation we all know you're compensating for some deep-seated family issue.
Serve your canned jellied cranberry in it's original shape.
Don't block the buffet table or beer keg at parties. Take your food and move away from the table. Select. Shovel. Move.

As I type, icebergs are calving away from the glacier that has become my freezerbox. I finally got a replacement door for the one that kept falling on my toes every time I went in for something. I did get to meet up with the long-lost Martini Gurlatalova, who is back to blogging again. Went out to Blowoff on Saturday night and had a good time.

I love it in the can!
Advice from cooking goddess Ann Hodgman
"When did it become okay to serve canned cranberry jelly still in its canned shape? Granted, it's fun to make that schwupping sound when you slide the jelly out of the can, but aren't you supposed to chop the jelly up a little before you put it on the table? Or has the can-shaped red torpedo now become a Thanksgiving tradition all it's own?"
Apparently Jimbo answers her last question in the affirmative.
I've been told I'm making tofu chocolate pie and blueberry pie, which should be no sweat. I do hope that somebody brings jellied cranberry sauce, though. I prefer a slice that has the can ridges in it.
I can't wait for Friday morning when I can have slices of canned cranberry jelly with stuffing patties for breakfast! MMM...
Strangely, I heard that panda was hungry an hour later.
If you are going to have Cranberry Sauce In A Can, I firmly believe you should have Instant Mashed Potatoes with Margarine.
