My family has a cranberry recipe for Thanksgiving. It came off the Ocean Spray bag.

My wife's family has a cranberry recipe for Thanksgiving. It came out of Wonkaville.

Mine involves throwing a bag of cranberries into a meat grinder along with a half-dozen tangerines. Sometimes I add cloves and cognac. They hate it so I get to eat all of it.

Theirs involves cranberries, marshmallows, crushed pineapple, whipped cream and toasted walnuts. Except her dad doesn't like walnuts so it takes up two bowls. They called it "cranberry salad." I started making airquotes whenever the word "salad" was said and eventually just referred to it as "airquotes salad." Joke's on them - fuckin Airquotes Salad is delicious on top of pecan pie.

I just woke up my wife laughing so hard at your air quotes. Thanks - I needed a good belly laugh today.
