I've shot a lot of these embroidery squares by LaughterClub over the years, so I was taken by finding one becoming one with the utility pole it was nailed to

And they look out so hard for the well being of the spiders AND the dolphins
@moss-wizard of course this isn’t how we serve it!!
It has to be in a dish with much higher sides, so when we go to cut it and it tries to sliiiiiide away it doesn’t escape and blorp blorp blorp across mom’s nice tablecloth
SLICE YOUR CANNED BOGBERRY GOO INTO DISCS BEFORE SERVING, YOU FILTHY HERETICS.
NO. IT WILL BE SERVED IN PROPER CAN SHAPE, AND WILL HAVE ITSELF SCOOPED INTO WEIRD SHAPES THE WAY THE GODS INTENDED
YOU STAY OUTTA THIS, GOD-QUEEN-EMPEROR. AND TAKE YOUR CERVID STALKERS WITH YOU.
It's supposed to be served in can shape with two discs already sliced and laying tastefully in front
I have consulted the scriptures and this is variation is still within the bounds of orthodoxy.
Mash the can shape up. We giving the table what they want, chaos in a dish, with a serving spoon.
Not to derail the escalating heresy, but what do dolphins have to do with cranberry bogs?
cranberry is served in its can shape in the can direction, not on its side but on its cylinder
Right but you guys know that ocean spray also sells like. Cranberries. Which you can use to make an actually edible cranberry sauce on the stovetop in 10 minutes of unattended cook time
actual cranberries? ew no thank you. The unprocessed chunky stuff is GROSS.
Look, in my house, we mix it with whipped cream and freeze it in a graham cracker crust for dessert!
what the actual fuck?
Behold, my grandmother's recipe for Cranberry Surprise:
For the crust, combine 2/3 cup crushed ginger snap crumbs (put them in a large plastic bag and crumble with a rolling pin, or a mug if you don't have one) with 2 T. of sugar. Press into a 9" pie plate.
For the filling, pour a half-pint of regular whipping cream into a bowl, and beat until stiff. Mix in 2 T. of sugar and 1/2 tsp. of almond extract.
In another bowl, take a 14 oz. CHILLED can of jellied cranberry sauce and mash it with a potato masher if you've got one, or a fork if you don't. (My mom bought me a potato masher specifically so I could make this dessert at holidays without having to borrow hers.)
Once the log is goo, fold the cranberry sauce into the whipped cream mix. Yes, it's supposed to be THAT pink.
Pour the pink cream-and-cranberry mix into the crust and freeze for at least 24 hours. Cut and serve immediately upon removal from freezer.
American Horror Food is one of my favorite tumblr post types.
(I make it from real cranberries but if I decide to go with Goo Log, I mash it like the unorthodox godkiller that I am.)
I can only add that I worked in a deep freeze warehouse for a little bit when I was younger. The cranberries would come in loose around Halloween. This big machine would clean, sort, and dump them into 1000 lb wooden bins that would be forklifted and stacked to freeze in the warehouse.
One time, somebody lost control of a bin and broke it open. I would like you to picture a dozen warehouse workers slip sliding around on frozen cranberry ball bearings for hours, trying to clean them up, while you play Yakety Sax in your head. It was a nightmare.
Doesn’t everyone have a special cranberry-from-the-can serving plate and slice-cutting tool! What, are you all just living live Neanderthals?!?!
Oh my ZOD I love that
my brother is a culinary artist. one year he made some amazing cranberry sauce that nobody touched. the next year he made the same sauce, added a thickener, and set it in a ribbed can (he reused a pumpkin can iirc), and it was a hit.
we like the vague can-shaped fruit gelatin. i personally like it even more when it’s home-made.
Ah, in my house we serve this standing up on a plate, and we call it Invisible Can. It is not a holiday dinner without Invisible Can.
Things are heating up in the superlative canned goo fandom
According to some of the commentary here and there in the notes, heating up is exactly what is supposed to have happened to the canned goo before it reaches the table, causing it to transmogrify from shaped gel into fluid sauce
OK but heated cranberry jelly? I need to try this. Now to find a thanksgiving dinner to invite myself to
Y'all are not ready for my cranberry wine. No, shut up.
3 lbs of cranberries, 2 lbs sugar, 1 lb honey. 2 oranges. Zest one orange, and then juice both. Crush/blend the cranberries, add honey and sugar, add water to make a touch over one gallon. Heat not to boiling but until easily mixed. Carefully scoop off and discard any of the honey residue that forms.
Cool to 85 degrees. If you can stick a finger in and it feels just a little cool, you're good. Add orange juice and zest.
Transfer to cleaned brew bucket. Add a good dependable wine yeast (something able to tolerate rougher conditions with fewer esters is best), a tsp of pectic enzyme, and any yeast energizer/nutrients you need to per the bottle.
Mix that shit. Like put a paint mixer on the end of a drill and go to town.
Seal and lock. Leave in a good temp for the yeast (probably 68ish degrees, but check your label). Once the lock shows bubbles, carefully open the top and break up the cap on top. You should see a lot of bubbles come out. Do not stir! Just gently push the cap down so the yeast doesn't get stressed by the CO2. Reseal the brew bucket. Do this once every couple days until bubbles stop.
Transfer to secondary to finish, then bottle after a month in secondary. Let the bottles sit for 6 months.
Serve slightly chilled with citrus fruit and dark chocolate. It will be slightly tart with a very sweet undertone, and probably 12-14% alcohol. Take a bite of the chocolate, sip the wine, and then take another bite of chocolate.
You can thank me later.
anyway I'm american and have literally never had goo can cranberry sauce, it's SUPPOSED to look like this:
You serve it with a spoon.
BLASPHEMER!!!!!!!
i mean, i just had a stay at home mom who enjoyed cooking.
I'll add one to team We (I) Make It Fresh and Serve It In a Bowl (like civilized people!!!!).
@massachusetts-official they’re summoning you in the notes but I feel like you’ve already been here at least once
Get me in here yourself you coward.
Anyway, there is obviously a lot to process here. To start, Ocean Spray ran an entire social media/ad campaign about the canned vs homemade last year. So that debate is as old as time if a company is in on it. I'm not aware of any result of which "team" held majority, but I know internally most Ocean Spray employees were all for the canned goop.
As for serving, points go to @dandelion-witch for being correct. Though, I do love the canned cranberry sauce dish.
As for that one image about the bog dolphins, I can confirm there are actually no dolphins in your cranberry sauce. I cannot, however, guarantee that the sauce is 100% spider free, but they do try their damnedest

Where's that tweet about people still living long fulfilling lives even through the fall of the roman empire because I think about it constantly

I may post more trip pics, I've just been very disorganized about my posting since getting back! But yes, I am back in Portand and visited the Portland Airport Carpet when I got back to PDX
The new terminal is also nice. And the new airport bar has an amazing taplist! I wish I'd known how good, I'd have made time for it when I flew out
That's my evening sorted

I've always disliked mr beast just based on his content mill vaguely exploitative vibes so it's been kind of wild learning he also does legitimate crimes and workplace violations. it's like disliking an acquaintance because they're kinda annoying and then finding out they kill people too like damn dude you didn't have to do all that i already hated your ass.

Exploring Chicago's Wild Mile in a hailstorm!
This is a project to clean up the river, create new public space, provide access to unique views of the city and bring back native plants by having floating platforms on Chicago River
I was only briefly in Chicago, but this is what I most wanted to see
