My friend told me she always bakes muffins with her leftover cranberry sauce, and I was amazed that had never occurred to me.
So I looked up a recipe for cranberry coffee cake. Will be trying that tomorrow.

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united
