Cranberries Anyone?

25 people yesterday for Thanksgiving lunch at our house and the beautiful, delicious, one of my favorite parts, cranberry relish sat lonely in the fridge until 6:00 last night. That's frustrating! It occured to me while on a random, short ride with Julie that I never put it out! The whole time at lunch I would sit down and feel like something was missing. I would get up and check on things, answer a question, help someone find something, make coffee, etc but sit back down to my plate hoping it would seem complete when I got back. The corn that I threw together at the last minute got rave reviews but my prized cranberries prepared with care the night before never made it to the table. And then, someone told me they knew it wasn't out and didn't say anything. They thought I was saving it for myself. For the record, I will never make 4 cups of cranberry relish the night before a Thanksgiving meal and hide it until the meal is over on purpose. Now I feel obligated to eat the whole bowl and make my roommates help me. I don't think any of them have quite the appreciation for cranberry/orange relish like I do, but I do plan to tackle that bowl which is a much better option nutritionally than the pumpkin pie issue I had last week. More thoughts on lunch coming soon probably, but until then, if anyone is desperate for cranberries before Thursday or wishes to help Amy eat her pie at my house, feel free. There's plenty to go around.
