My post was too long, so here is the rest of the recipe: SUGGESTIONS FROM OTHER USERS: After you pat the mixture in the pan, take a handful or so of cranberries and scatter them on top, pushing them gently about half way into the batter. Some will burst and run while cooking, giving the pie a more festive presentation with more red on top in lieu of a lot of the white batter showing on top. If you first coat the cranberries in the sugar and then mix it all up, the sweet is right next to the tangy.

Here we have Congress refusing to do the job they were sworn to do (like hold hearings for a supreme court justice), with lower approval ratings than ebola or some such things, and yet it seems like we have a whole lot of people who are willing to put t in office, knowing how unpredictable and dangerous he is, but are willing to rely on Congress to be the check and balance to keep him in line! Maybe t supporters are high rollers...'cause that sure is one bet I'd never, ever want to take.

I haven't started season 2 of Mrs M but others have said that you have to sick with it and it improves greatly.I watched the Netflix movie called Dumplin and it was cute although the story line is rather time worn. If you like Dolly Parton at all, you will like this. It was just what my holiday-weary brain needed. I started Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Kominsky Method before Christmas. I have to get back to them since I was thoroughly enjoying both.
