Fresh. Boiled. Cranberries.

Sometimes my roommates and I stay up late chatting about life and our thoughts and opinions. We always congregate in our kitchen and consequently eat. Depending on whether we've got the munchies or want a real meal, we call these gatherings "food fests" or "midnight feasts" respectively. During this particular food fest, even though we weren't discussing food, I brought up how much I love - Fresh. Boiled. Cranberries. Upon hearing this proclamation, my roommates laughed and made fun of me for so dramatically stating my love for this treat. I continued to explain to them that I crave Thanksgiving because Thanksgiving dinner means I will get to sample this fruit's wonderfully sweet acidity. I love - Fresh. Boiled. Cranberries.

I only like cranberries in two forms; in Welch's Cran-Grape juice and the sauce put on my turkey during Thanksgiving. As for being fresh or boiled I don't know, I guess I like it best liquified in a bottle or processed in a can. I do like snacking while conversing with friends though.

Wow... I don't think I have ever had cranberries like that. My personal favorite is the kind that comes in a can... jellied.

Cranberries. I'm not a huge fan but I also look forward to Thanksgiving dinner for my dad's homemade banana cream pie! It's the best banana cream pie ever! I get it about twice a year...for Thanksgiving and for my birthday. I love it so much that I ask for a birthday pie rather than a birthday cake. It's delicious.

I absolutely love cranberries!!! I have never had them fresh. Boiled. Cranberries. I will try them sometime though because I love the bitter sweet flavor of a good cranberry. One thing that I look forward to around the time of Thanksgiving is the leftovers when I get to make a delicious turkey and cranberry sandwich. Honestly, food of the Gods.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........

I love love LOVE cranberries, the jelly kind that you get like once a year at thankgiving that take the exact form of the can. I'd like to explore the wonders of them in boiled form, is that like craisens? I'm kind of confused.
