Happy Thanksgiving

I wish Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

I wish Happy Thanksgiving to those who might end up at odds with some of the family. I have been there.

I wish Happy Thanksgiving to those who cannot be with all of their family. I have been there.

I wish Happy Thanksgiving to those who are alone. I have been there. (It’s really hard to find a restaurant that’s open today. Once, I got take away pizza.)

I wish Happy Thanksgiving to those whose efforts today are not appreciated. I have been there.

To all you people, I give you a cyber hug. You can’t feel it, but it’s there.

And now, let me wish you Happy Thanksgiving with something from Norman Rockwell.

Cranberry Sauce

Bosnian Appetizer

­

CRANBERRY SAUCE

­
INGREDIENTS
­
1⅓ cups sugar
½ cup orange juice
¾ cup water
1 pound cranberries
Mason jars for unused sauce
­
Makes 3¼ cups. Takes 1 hour 30 minutes.
­
PREPARATION
­­­
Add sugar, orange juice, and water to pot. Simmer at low-medium heat for 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves completely. Stir frequently. Add cranberries. Cook at medium heat for 15 minutes or until cranberries crack open and sauce is dark and thick. Stir frequently. Remove sauce from heat. (Sauce should thicken more as it cools.) Leave in refrigerator for 1 hour or until sufficiently cooled. . Goes well on poultry, pork, beef, and fish. Store excess in Mason jars.
­
TIDBITS
­
1) Cranberries are good for you in all sorts of ways. I forget some of them. Apparently, cranberries don’t help the memory much.
­
2) The Picts and Celts in Ancient Britain were fierce warriors. They got their energy and stamina from eating cranberries. If the these ancient fighters ate too many cranberries they got tummy aches. They also found oodles and oodles of excess energy coursing through their veins. They became too hot. The Picts and Celts had to let some of their escape or they’d collapse.
­
3) So the first Britons took off all their clothes to cool off. Being nude, they painted their bodies blue for modesty’s sake. Then they charged the opposing army with a ferocity that’s never again been equaled. But they didn’t wear hats or paint their heads. The skin on their heads turned red under the hot unforgiving sun. The invading Romans thought the Britons’ skulls, crania, looked as red as the cranberry that the natives ate. So, the Romans called this red berry, the cranberry.
­
4) I almost forgot, a Roman chef, Quintus Cato, looked at the cranberry sauce in his Mason jar and thought, “The Mason jar is much taller than it’s wide. Is it possible to build like that as well?” He wrote of this idea to his pal, Emperor Vespasian of Rome. The energetic Emperor immediately ordered construction of the Colosseum, so named because it’s colossal in size. Now you know.

TIDBITS

1) It’s not very well known, but Vincent van Gogh absolutely loved Navajo tacos. In fact, culinary art historians have recently uncovered his Navajo taco still life. Magnificent, isn’t it?

Misheard Lyrics of Selena Gomez

The superb  Selena Gomez had a big hit with great song “Good for you.”
The true lyrics include:

“I’m on my 14 carats
I’m 14 carat
Doing it up like Midas,”

I, however, heard:

“I’m on my farting carrots
I’m farting carrot
Doing it up, like my ass.”

Ms. Gomez certainly seemed to be rather earthy. She also showed herself to be rather proud of her stupendous, carrot-spawned, public farts.

Okay. Then given the exciting, alternative lyrics, the rest of the song seem to continue this rather curious vein. Oh well, each to her own taste.

But hey, I’m not too proud to admit I misheard the lyrics. Can you tell I use subtitles when I watch TV?
