Hello-Hello and Happy Monday!
Did everyone enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving? We hope so, we are grateful to have enjoyed ours with TQM, it was loads of fun finished off by a fierce Scrabble tournament. In the interest of full disclosure, we must report that The Queen took the trophy, despite our snappy 7-letter word.
We bow before the prowess of our opponent.
The real Thanksgiving tragedy involved the creation of a very simple side dish, something we have successfully made ever-so-many times here at The Prepatorium. Usually it looks very much like this:
All we can say is that this was not a good year for the molded cranberry salad, the crop was disappointing. (Ahem.)
Here is the evidence of our little mishap to demonstrate we are not exaggerating things.
Readers may have noted the lack of any shape or form. Any evidence this gelatinous mass sat in a mold of any kind. For. Hours.
It wasn’t even possible to contain the slithering mess to a flat surface, let alone its original serving plate. The concoction was so liquified it resembled the creature in “The Blob,”, oozing off everything before hardening into a substance that becomes almost impossible to remove from a counter or floor unless one brings in power tools .
Fortunately the evening was spent with a forgiving group who cared only about the companionship and spirit of the day. We added our gratitude for that to the lengthy list of things we appreciated on the holiday, and all year long.
