Twenty degrees and snow falling... Denver is lovely.
Thank heavens for warm scarves and gloves and coats and My New Hat!

1. Notice a vaguely-interesting recipe in Coastal Living magazine because the accompanying article included photos of bicycles decorated with garlands and sparkly beads. Oooh, shiny sparkly. 2. Email recipe to parents. 3. Survive intervening week or two of chaos. 4. Visit parents, who have survived their intervening week or two of chaos. 5. Encourage parents to try the new recipe even if we don't have all of the ingredients because we all only just barely survived the intervening weeks of chaos... Mom goes for it, substituting pomegranate-tangerine juice for tangerine juice, doubling the dried cranberries for the dried cherries, and using flour in place of corn starch. She skips the rind-grating and the sectioning of the tangerine since we have no actual tangerines in the house. Oh, and she omits the salt and uses low-sodium chicken broth, because this is an Extremely Extremely Low Sodium household. 6. Discover that this is The Best Interesting Gravy Ever. 7. Watch in pleased amusement, and chime in wholeheartedly, as the entire table agrees that we're doing this recipe again next year. It's awesome on turkey, and I'll bet it'll be equally amazing on chicken.

The original recipe is available online at http://www.coastalliving.com/ by searching the recipes for "Tangerine Gravy" or by going directly to this link (theoretically, anyway).
( Here's a copy of the recipe for posterity in case the Coastal Living site goes down... )
Enjoy!

Is it just me or is LJ not loading/loading glacially slow yet again? The status page didn't have anything up, but this is driving me crazy!

Wow, LJ, my notifications FINALLY start working and you go down AGAIN. This is getting tiring. Your Montana servers are not robust.
No update from the status page as of yet.
ETA: Of course, I post this and it comes back. SIGH.
ETA II: And, of course, it goes down and, once again, my notifications have stopped coming.
