Canned Cranberry: Love It or Hate It?

partysugar — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:00:41 -0800

When I was growing up, canned cranberry jelly was a part of our menu every Thanksgiving. With it's rich color, cylindrical shape, and smooth coolness, it was one of my favorite parts of the meal. I have since learned to love a more sophisticated homemade fresh cranberry sauce, but the canned cranberry holds a special place in my heart. It's ideal for making leftover sandwiches. How do you feel about it?

This year, my older brother and his buddies decided to plan an epic golfing weekend over the Thanksgiving holiday. He knows how important Thanksgiving is to me, so he's heading to my parent's house this weekend. My family will feast with him on Sunday and then celebrate as we normally do with my grandfather on Thursday. How about you?

Do You Bake With Shortening?

This morning, I set the record straight on the baking fat known as shortening. Although it's a nice vegan alternative to butter or lard, a number of you are disgusted with its trans fat content. I can relate to both perspectives - although I recently became enamored with the flaky texture it lends to pie crusts, like the one in traditional apple pie.

Twilight Cupcakes: Love Them or Hate Them?

partysugar — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:00:23 -0800

I know the majority of you love cupcakes, but now I'm wondering how you feel about cupcakes with human faces on them - and not just any faces, but the vampire and werewolf from the upcoming New Moon. These cupcakes are currently on sale at the Sweet Avenue Bake Shop in New Jersey. Personally, I prefer cupcakes with a simple, smooth, and creamy frosting, but if I had to choose, I would pick a Team Jacob cupcake. How do you feel about them?

To commemorate the upcoming holiday, wacky beverage company Jones Soda Co. is rolling out an unusual seasonal flavor: Tofurky and Gravy soda. The item, based on the famous vegetarian turkey substitute Tofurky, is not only vegan, but it's also sugar-free. Right now, it's included in a limited-edition gift pack for $12.
