Thanksgiving Salad Days
Thanksgiving finds me in Denton, Texas, at my mom's, and I had dinner tonight at my grandmother's assisted living center in Carrolton. Nice place, nice folks.
Anyway, in honor of my grandmother, I'm in charge of making her annual Frozen Cranberry Salad, which is very genetically similar to most any Jell0 salads. Yes, salads. Here in Texas, and in Oklahoma where I grew up, Jello and anything frozen with Cool Whip and a semblance of fruit is deemed a salad. Mama Lu's Frozen Cranberry Salad is a mix of cranberry sauce, mayonnaise, pineapple chunks, pecans, cream cheese and Cool Whip, frozen into a salad and served sliced and next to your brocolli. Again, it's similar to all Jello-related salads, including this doozy. Happy Thanksgiving.
