[Magdalen] Cranberry Time.

[Jay Weigel]

Our cranberries, "Selections" brand from Costco, came from Wisconsin. I
remember as a kid listening to the forecasts for the cranberry bogs in the
mornings as I ate breakfast.

And I made cranberry salsa, which included not only oranges, but lime
juice, green onions, and jalapeños. A-hoo-ah! (Or should I spell that ajúa?)
