  5. I haven't been around lately. I saw the thread with buddies and thought it funny. Trying to catch up I learned why the thread was started. I had so looked forward to all the help Renee was giving me to help my Thanksgiving dinner with my Dad go off without a hitch. When I read of the events I have spent the past few hours looking at her old posts and crying. Today it is almost like a piece of me, of TDK, is missing. Renee you were loved so much and will be missed more than words can say. My prayers are with your family. And I know there is one more angel in this world.

    Cranberry Ring Mold

    1 12 oz. bag cranberries,washed and chopped
    1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple + juice
    2 small packages of strawberry or cranberry jello*
    2 cups boiling water
    1/4 cup sugar or Nutrasweet**

    Dissolve jello in boiling water. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Grind cranberries in a Blender, etc. using some juice from pineapple, if needed, add ground cranberries and pineapple with remaining juice to the remaining jello mixture. Spray a 6 cup or larger jello mold with cooking spray. Pour mixture into mold. Chill until firm. To unmold; dip mold into bowl of hot water for 3 to 4 seconds, then invert onto serving tray. *sugar-free jello can be substituted if you want it to be sugar-free. **If you use Nutrasweet, it takes 26 packages to equal 1/4 cup sugar. Tip: when I make this, a 6 cup mold is bursting at the seams, so a little bit bigger mold would be less chance of spilling it.

  6. I miss her too,I see her with that sweet shy smile watching all her friends trying to have fun in her absence and mostly succeeding, I wipe tear away from my face then put a smile on and go on ahead around the rink.

  7. I, being a good Irish woman, pour a drink and toasted the heavens. They have the best. It was just such a shock to be gone a few days and now know that I can't ever tell her about the dinner, seems selfish that I want to tell her about a dinner, and her family would give anything to have her with them.

  8. We missed you very much SoxsMom..We have been in shock over this as well. {{HUGS}} to you and all my TDK family..We have all lost a sister!!

  9. SoxsMom..Have you seen the thread from Kittenmaster it gives her husband Rons email address..I'm sure he would love to hear how it turns out!

    Posted 3 years ago by 2bpurring #

  10. I think you are right. I saw the address and was preparing an e-card to send.

    Posted 3 years ago by SoxsMom #

  11. The email that Julie sent to everyone is hilarious--have a feeling that Renee would have chuckled. Although Dorie would just roll on the floor with laughter!

  12. Gosh, I pop in for just a few minutes and now I am really hungry! Being a "Northerner" I don't get much good southern cooking. My sister-in-law has southern roots so she is a pretty fine cook. Here are some of her greens (made with bacon grease, of course!) And I do know how to make red velvet cake, so I'll bring that for dessert. I'll have a (very small) sip of bourbon to toast our departed friend. Goodbye Cindy Renee, thank you for sharing part of your life with us.

  13. As a fellow Southerner and formidable woman of Irish heritage, I ask that you charge your glasses and join in this toast:

    To Cindy Renee, a good and gracious lady of the South, whose loving-kindness will never be forgotten. She gave us wonderful recipes, sound advice, and her sweet and pretty ways will never be forgotten.

    Heaven is a merrier place with her there, and she and her family are in our prayers forever.

    To Cindy Renee...

  17. Here, here, Emma! To Renee....

  18. Emma I have raised a few glasses already. It may seem strange but in this house there is an Irish wake happening. I have shared recipes that Renee sent with my husband. We have looked at her beautiful cat. We have toasted a great person who shared life with so many people.

  19. I lift my glass to Cindy Renee...wipes tear away

  20. Carmel Cake and Banana Pudding are a must for a Southern menu.

    Posted 3 years ago by tinafishfrombirthplaceofElvis #

  21. You know, I think an Irish wake is almost like an Irish wedding. Three days of laughter, tears, dancing, music, buckets of alcohol, rafts of food, cousins by the dozens and someone passed out under the piano.

    And it is so good to be alive among your good selves!

  22. Well booze I do not drink I raise my glass of Apple cider! To Renee a wonderful woman and an Angel He sent among us to bless us each day! I love ya Renee may peace be yours!

    Love Angie!

  23. Only a Woman's Heart or The Celts or May it be!

    Posted 3 years ago by Momma to 2 MaineCoons #

  24. How about Medieval Babes? Their albums are so fine. Or "You Raise Me Up" played by Secret Garden -- my personal fave.

    Posted 3 years ago by Emma #

  25. LV let the Apple Cider set around awhile and you will have hard cider--whole new drink!

    Posted 3 years ago by SoxsMom #

  26. Has anyone read "Being Dead is No Excuse, or the Southern Guide to Funerals"?

    Posted 3 years ago by Emma #

  27. Yes I have.

    Posted 3 years ago by SoxsMom #

  28. Sorry can't say i have Auntie Emma!

    Never heard of Medieval Babes!

    Heehehhe Oh SM! Like liquor hard?

    Posted 3 years ago by Momma to 2 MaineCoons #

  29. Hugs and kisses and prayers for all of you, dear ones -- I have to head to bed. Don't stay up too late.

    *Adjusting her glasses, Emma tucks her book under one arm and holds her cup of hot chocolate in her free hand, slippers dragging slightly, and two black cats surging like otters up the stairs with her. The stars in the night sky wheel and shine, and they are brighter for the presence of Cindy Renee.*

  30. Fermented apple cider! Hard cider is good--just not the same as regular!
