Whatcha makin'?

Freshly ground black pepper

Combine first 3 ingredients in medium saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until mixture comes to boil. Mix in cranberries; return to boil.

Bon Appetit November 2003

Yum! I made this last night. I had made it last year and it was an easy cranberry sauce. I seem to mix it up every once in awhile and try out a new recipe. The parsley sounded a bit strange to me so I first mixed it up without and tried it. I then took a little out and mixed in some parsley. I have to tell you that the parsley is a must! Seriously.

So lets see...

Sean is toasting the bread for the stuffing as I am typing this. I have to get back over to the stove and cook up some more onions and celery. I might try to get a batch of brownies made after that. I'll make the string bean casserole tomorrow. I have some anitpasta to put together too. We added ham to the menu last year since we were a large crowd. Sean wanted it again this year. I CAN'T forget to take it out of the fridge and get it in the oven at some point. I can totally see that happening. The rest of my guests are bringing other dishes and desserts. Well I am off to take a look at this bird and finish off the stuffing.

Odds are I am not making it back here tomorrow so...

Happy Thanksgiving!
