Cranberries

[mishalak]

I used up my last package of cranberries today. Some of it went into making relish to go with the last of my left over turkey from my family's Yule dinner. I deiced to put two thirds of them towards an experiment. I finely minced them in my food processor then put them in a jar with half a liter of vodka. I'm going to let it sit for a week or two and then decant into another bottle. No sugar because I want to see what the drink is like plain. Maybe it will be too strong and need diluting down with more vodka (funny, diluting with vodka). If it needs sugar I'll add a bit at a time until it is just right.

The next time I get to the store I'll see if there might be any fresh packages left, though I doubt there will be. I also think I'll get some ham and some bread because eventually I've a mind to make some Scotch Eggs. They'd make a nice lunch with some greens.

Until then I'm working on what I have here. Tonight I think some rice and some mung beans mashed with some milk or something.

Today I got registered for unemployment and to start searching for a new job. Offically unemployeed last Friday and all. I'll have to document where I'm applying now so that I can get the benifit, such as it is. I also got more cleaned up today. A third of the floor is scrubed and now I'm working on a sink full of dishes.
