Thank you for the tag last week @CoffeeK8 ! And thank you for doing this @DebinHawaii ! I love reading everyone‘s joys each week 💛

kspenmoll I afore cranberry anything! Lovely list! 1mo

tpixie Starbucks has a new cranberry drink. I think the spices are a little heavy on cinnamon, but it was a fun change from a strawberry refresher. Frozen cranberries in plain Greek yogurt is really good. ❤️❤️❤️ 1mo

CoffeeK8 That lunch location looks so cozy for the fall! 1mo

Daisey I love cranberries this time of year as well. I canned some juice last week and am planning on a batch of cranberry eggnog bread soon. 1mo

DebinHawaii A lovely list of fall joys! 💛💛💛Cranberries are perfect this time of year! Thanks for joining in. 🤗 1mo

mabell @kspenmoll Same! Do you have any favorite recipes? 1mo

mabell @tpixie Oh I may have to try that! I rarely get the cold drinks (I‘m a big mocha fan!), but that one sounds fun for the season! And I never would have thought of frozen cranberries with yogurt! 1mo

mabell @CoffeeK8 It was! They also had tower heaters that were very welcome 😄 1mo

mabell @Daisey Wow - how did you can juice?? And please share your bread recipe! What a unique combo! I think cranberries would be perfect for balancing rich eggnog 1mo

mabell @DebinHawaii @dabbe Thank you! 1mo

Daisey This is one of my favorite winter quick breads! https://www.yourcupofcake.com/eggnog-cranberry-bread/ 1mo

Daisey I used the simpler method to can one batch of juice and it should be ready just in time for Christmas. https://practicalselfreliance.com/canning-cranberry-juice/ 1mo

tpixie @mabell your wee one with the puppy is adorable 🥰 1mo

tpixie @Daisey thanks for the recipe! I love both cranberries & eggnog! But I‘ve never had them together!!! 1mo

mabell @tpixie They are my sweethearts! She loves him so much, and he loves her when food is involved 😂 1mo

mabell @Daisey I‘ve printed the bread recipe! I just have to pick up a couple of ingredients & I‘m definitely making that this week! The simpler method sounds like a fun, tasty experiment! If I were more comfortable canning, I‘d do it. Once I‘ve done some canning, I‘ll try the drink too! I wonder how it would be with some spices added with the sugar. You‘ll have to report back on how this is too! (I don‘t remember if you mentioned you had made it before) 1mo

Daisey @tpixie @mabell I hope you both enjoy the bread! As for the juice, I‘ve read about people making fruit blends and spiced versions (although you need to be careful to keep acid content because of water bathing), but I‘ve only made plain cranberry myself. 1mo

From the U.S. Armed Forces to The American Police Force and Emergency Personnel, to all who have served and lost their lives. Always in our American hearts with endless gratefulness.

Have a Safe and Peaceful Memorial Day/Weekend everyone.

🐻🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸💝.

AnnCrystal Please Note, do not continue reading the following if you have negativity for Peace Officers. I am not trying to begin a debate. 👇

AnnCrystal While I was helping my mom haul out the extra decorations for our American celebrations (we begin right around Armed Forces day and keep them up until around 4th of July).

My mom raised my brother and I with a high respect for our Americana. Her words are more, “out of all the cultures mixed into your blood, you are Native (Indigenous) and American first and foremost. You disrespect our Land or our Flag, you disrespect yourself.“👇
7mo

AnnCrystal Well, we were talking while decorating, about how Gotham City has seemingly swept across our America and how our Peace Officers are in a type of war.

This made me curious. Does America even celebrate our Peace Officers? I know, terrible of me not to already know the answer to this question. 👇

AnnCrystal Research told me there is a Day in January (the 9th) and a Memorial Day (May 15) that then leads into a Week of honor. And Firefighters Day is May 4th.

Since we're in the month of May, I decided to include Peace Officers and all Emergency Personnel in this post here.

American Pie: Slices of Life (and Pie) from America's Back Roads | Pascale Le Draoulec

Not sure where I heard about this one - I thought it was on here, but don't see any posts about it 🤷‍♀️. Anyway, it's a good lunch/break choice. Relatively entertaining, easy to dip and out of, not so compelling that I have to tote it around to keep reading.

There's a little bit of Coastal-Media-Type-Road-Trips-to-Find-the-Real-America 🙄, but not the worst offender I've ever come across. And it's balanced with lots of pie recipes!

BkClubCare I 💕 pie! Stacked 7mo

Verse by the Side of the Road: The Story of the Burma-Shave Signs and Jingles | Frank Rowsome, Jr.

#ItTakesAllKinds #Roadtrip I think it said that they took these signs down in 1963 ,but at its height ,there were 7000 sets in 43 states. Fun car game to look for these on your travels back in the day.Found this little gem ,at the big book sale I went to a few weeks ago . Published in 1965. So six signs spread out a ways , you get a poem!
