Holy crap I could that dip with a spoon. It turns me feral.

Recipe please!

Here’s one. It’s a pretty forgiving recipe though, if you want to change the proportions. If you do a search, you’ll find variations on this recipe.

Have you had this lately? Did it live up to your expectations? I used to love boxed au gratin potatoes, but every time I'm tempted to buy a box, I worry that it will disappoint me.

No, not in several years, but I did buy my annual port wine cheeseball.

That last one…not judging, but trying to wrap my brain around it.

Are you old enough to have watched Laverne & Shirley? Shirley was always craving a "milk and Pepsi." It's a thing; almost like a float if the ice cream has melted. I had it occasionally growing up since y mother liked it. But we had it with milk, not half and half. Half and half sounds more decadent, lol.

If your cranberry sauce is not shaped like a can, what are you even doing with your life?

My college-aged daughter went to her roommate's house for Thanksgiving. She texted this to me from the bathroom during dinner--"Their cranberry sauce is in a bowl and you use a spoon to scoop it out and it has actual cranberries and orange peels in it. Who eats cranberry sauce that isn't in a can shape?"

She was also shocked that they served dinner rolls in a basket with a cloth over it "like a movie or something." No crescent rolls or biscuits from a can to be seen.

That would be Laverne
I think I tried it as a kid too.

I had quite a shock when I moved to California - even four year olds are foodies here, eating sushi and requesting brussel sprouts. Nobody here uses the canned cranberry sauce I grew up with - everyone buys cranberries and melts them in a pot. I've converted, I confess. Higher quality foods, with fewer chemicals is awesome. A couple of times I try out my old East Coast faves, and am certain I can taste the chemicals (looking at you Carvel ice cream cake and Celentano ravioli).

Delish! THANK YOU PP! I could have used my old friend google but wanted to get your specific recipe!

Deviled eggs, too. And pigs in a blanket.

You can make your own version of onion dip with slightly more salt control by using dried minced onion, Better’n Bouillon and sour cream. I will die on the hill that this is better than Lipton. (So long as you give it overnight to meld)

The color of that sausage dip reminded me that my aunt used to have this “nacho” cheese dip at parties. It was a powdered cheese dip and I don’t know how it would taste (if it even exists anymore; I think like powdered frosting packets, it’s gone) but I loved that stuff so much as child.

This reads like a flex but is actually pretty sad. She's in college and hasn't seen cranberry sauce outside of a can or been somewhere where they serve bread with a napkin over it?! Not sure why thus reads like a brag, that's kind of depressing you could be that underexposed.

Oh wow, how original. A California adoptee acting all superior about food.

Get a better schtick and stop ruining a great thread. Either contribute in a good, non-judgmental way or LEAVE. Nobody cares. California, wowwwww.
