Are there cranberry leftovers? That stuff can sit around for months before you finally realize the only day people will eat cranberries is Thanksgiving and toss the container out.

(And the cranberry growers, recognizing the fact, branched into other markets like cranberry juice – usually flavored with some other juice that tastes good – cranberry nut muffins, or dried cranberries in granola bars. All products designed to minimize the actual taste of cranberries. Cranberries reflect the history of food. Before cheap fertilizer and refrigeration people were forced to eat anything that didn’t poison them or starve.)

Still eating my leftovers.

At least, it appears that Tank’s sandwich doesn’t include stuffing. I’ve never understood putting bread inside of bread. I’ve also never been a fan of dumplings that are stuffed with potato (like some pierogies) – just redundant.

I never had an issue with leftover Hallowe’en candy because it didn’t exist.

I couldn’t stand candy corn so it hung around for centuries!

Cosmo says to keep your kids from eating all your candy, store it in the freezer in an empty veggie bag. They’ll never find it!
