First I am a cranberry hoarder and I freely admit it.
I have stacks of them in the freezer.
Next I cook for myself first and foremost.
Even if there is a pile of people I cook for myself.
My mother was that way and I take after her big time.
My favorite story she read to me as a wee thing is The Little Red Hen.
The one where she did all the work while the rest of the lazy critters sat around and did nothing.
This had a profound effect on me and to a large extent made me who I am today.
I used to cook for seven people and they ate what I made or starved.
I dont like beef soup.
Fine more for me.
Oh yeah fruitcake I would take one for myself and hide it.
