Thanksgiving at our house started with Meals on Wheels deliveries and eased into a full day movie marathon. We continued with our Hitchcock addiction and added a few other movies for a dose of sanity. One of the non-Hitchcock movies we watched was Chicken Run from Dreamworks.

I love cranberry sauce from a can and am not ashamed to admit it. I crave cranberries with my Tofurky and have not yet tasted a fresh sauce that I love as much as a good solid can of whole berry sauce. It is like survival food because it comes out of the can looking […]
