Cranberry Orange Cornmeal Cake and a Storm

This is a perfect recipe for Thanksgiving.  It makes a wonderful dense, moist cake with terrific Thanksgiving flavors.
 You can find the recipe here:  http://octoberfarm.blogspot.com/2010/11/cranberry-orange-cornmeal-cake-recipe.html 
Zest the oranges before squeezing.

 The link will give you directions for a single recipe, double it to make a 10 X 13.

 Make sure to sprinkle the top with 1/3 cup of sugar before baking.

 It gives it a nice crunch when it is done baking.

 I like to refrigerate it to make it even denser.

 We have a big storm on the way.

 I shoveled a couple Teddy paths at 4:00 am this morning and it has come down consistently since then.  The heavy stuff hasn't even started yet.  We could get up to 10 inches.  Perfect thanksgiving weather...perfect me weather!!!

Teddy's bowl.

Enjoy your snow fall for me. :-)

That cake really looks yummy :-) Perhaps I should make it for Christmas but with lingonberries instead, that is if I can find any lingonberries that isn't already used for jam :-) I doubt I would find any cranberries here even if we have lots of them in the forests. Most people just believes they are lingonberries :-)

I'm glad You got snow and plenty of it since You like it so much. None in sight here and we might get a snow free Christmas this year.

would be no left overs. Your snow
laden property looks magical. Lots
of romping fun for Teddy. 4:00 AM?
We need your energy secret.
To you and yours and all the rest of us, a most blessed Thanksgiving filled with unity, caring and your brand of boundless
giving.

I love snow, too. Unfortunately, in my corner of NW Arizona, we get very little snow. And I absolutely love the way your home and gardens look in the snow.

At 4am??? I've always found that very high energy people tend to sleep very little. I admire that. Wishing you a gorgeous holiday.
