<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #666666;"><u>Cranberry Sauce</u>.</span> I have a weakness for cranberry sauce. Initially, I think I might have been beguiled by the ridges left by the aluminum can and the sound of that suctioned "pop" as it was released from its cylinder prison. I never understood why it was confined to Thanksgiving. It was dinner-dessert <i>(not to be confused with dessert-for-dinner, which was an even rarer event)</i>, but a sanctioned substance that was oh so right with mashed potatoes, poultry, lamb, green beans, anything dinner-y. Thanksgivings of college life exposed other traditions, sans can, but with hefty helpings various sauces of the cran. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's super easy. One <a href="http://www.oceanspray.com/Products/Fresh-Fruit/Cranberries.aspx">Ocean Spray</a> package, one cup of sugar, one cup of water and boil 'till they pop, and I've got cranberry sauce whenever I'd like. Because the recipe is so simple, I improvise often - orange zest or walnuts or minced </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">jalepeno</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> (I'm shimmying my shoulders over that one). The latest is cranberry sauce as a spread. I boil for about 15 minutes (instead of 10) let cool and the consistently rivals a preserve. I spread <a href="http://www.cypressgrovechevre.com/our-cheese/fresh-chevre/purple-haze.html#.VJD5n4rF_YA" target="_blank">Purple Haze Goat Cheese</a> on a <a href="http://www.wasa-usa.com/" target="_blank">Wasa</a> crisp bread and top with my cranberry concoction, and I tell you what... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><u>Why TWERKTRON.com</u>? </span></span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Because, almost every experience, or object, or sensation, or location, that I've truly adored, has, in the retelling, been accompanied with a little dance. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Butter pecan ice cream? A snap and a two step. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Austria for the first time? A fierce runway topped with a spin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A purple velvet frock purchased <u>ON</u> <u>SALE</u>? The Wop, for days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In fact, just the anticipation of such simple human pleasures could incite choreography of 16 counts. Five, six, five, six, seven, eight... So, I thought why not join the legions of folks who are propagating our <i>internets</i> with their "most favorites", cherished and discovered. Ain't gonna hurt nobody - I just figured you might wanna dance too...</span><br />
