Ugh. I have a bee in my bonnet and a brain full of regrets. Here’s why.

I wrote a blog post about cranberries on Amazon’s Al Dente blog today. After I wrote the post, I started to recall a recipe I made from Gourmet years ago, probably appearing in an edition in the early 1990s.

It was a cranberry “pie” made in a pie dish and topped with a soft sconelike dough.  I can’t find the recipe online or in my files.  To add salt to my frustrated wound, I started to recall an estate sale that I went to in early September.  I snagged a few gorgeous linens and a very tattered and loved 1942 edition of The Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook. The owner was obviously a really good cook, because she had lots of magazines carefully archived on shelves in her den.  The owner also had LOTS of Gourmet magazines. I bypassed them never thinking for a moment that Gourmet would be no longer. I now wish I had bought them. 

Indeed my little 1920s bungalow is bursting at the seams with three kids, pets, and books, so I don’t have room for a collection like that,  but I could really use that collection now that  Thanksgiving is rolling around…I’m sure the recipe was there somewhere…and I’m sure those mags are now in a landfill.

I’m not yet done with my search and am exploring other avenues.  I’ll keep you posted if and when I finally find it. How many days til Turkey Day???
