There I was thinking I was spreading yummy raspberry jam on my swiss roll cake when half way through I realised it wasn’t raspberry jam.
It was cranberry sauce.
Well the jars were identical!
Anyway, after much squealing, rendering the air blue and manic scraping off of cranberry sauce, I think I’ve managed to rescue this cake.
I was thinking of maybe donating it to my lovely work colleagues. Ahem.
Charlie says: I want to know what happened to the cold white stuff.
Wish me lots of luck bloggie friends, my story submission for 100Stories for Queensland has been long listed! It may still not make it to the anthology though! There's a shortlist to be decided! Oh the torture!!!! :-)
Purrs and hugs to umi_e's Envy and Maximus Spittimus's Bumbles!

Ummmm you may have invented a new cake with cranberries!
Well Charlie what did happen to the white stuff, it disappeared.

Cranberry sauce might be good. My husband loves that stuff.
Good luck on the submission
Charlie, That's so good...Snow is gone ! Spring is coming : )
PS : I purrs for your mom, I wish her Good Luck for her story

Cranberry sauce is usually fairly sweet. Bet it would taste great with a slightly orange-flavored frosting sprinkled with some chopped walnuts or pecans. (Cranberry-orange-walnut anyone?) Bet it ends up tasting just fine!
Good luck on your story!
I once confused shrimp cocktail sauce with ketchup...my fries tasted horrible.
I'm so excited for you at the chance of being in the anthology. You'll make it, Old Kitty! As for cranberry sauce, I enjoy the tart and tangy stuff. Not sure about it on a swiss roll though. I smile at the thought of you turning the air blue;)
Ooh, good luck with your story AND your cake! Looks yummy, cranberry sauce or not, lol! :D
Oh and the cold white stuff? We have about a foot and a half and it just keeps on coming. I'd be happy to ship some your way... :)
I like cranberries. May have been good that way.
Are you referring to those cliquey women perhaps?
YaY for being longlisted!
Oh my, you really were in a jam! Congrats on making the long list...we're purring for good things!
I might have preferred it with cranberry sauce. I like to use it as spread on my toast.
Congrats on the long list - here's hoping for the short.
Hey, the cranberry sauce may have been good! That is a funny story! Good luck with your story. I hope you make it!
Happy Monday~
xxoo

Fingers x-ed for the short list!
Have you ever had a peanut butter and cranberry sauce sandwich? Heaven on bread!
Love it!
Good luck Old Kitty :)
Congrats on the longlististing, fingers crossed!!
Ooh good luck with your story. I've got all fingers and toes crossed for you.
Oh dear what a hoot about the cranberry jam roll. I wonder what it tastes like? :O)
Hmm, cran-raspeberry is good. Just saying. :-)
Best of luck with your story, we hope it makes it in to the anthology! When will you know?
Hi Old Kitty! Congratulations on getting on the long list! :)
Does this mean I am going to have to look at everything that comes into work with suspicion?
thats brilliant news, the longlist, not the cranberry!
Well done!
Good luck with your story!
I wonder what your co-workers would have said if you'd just left the swiss roll full of cranberry sauce...
I'd take a piece of that cake regardless if it werefull of raspberry jam or cranberry sauce. It looks so good!
Good luck and fingers crossed that you make the short list for the 100Stories for Queensland book. Such a good cause!
I bet the cranberry sauce wouldn't have been so terribly bad but maybe. Who knows. Good idea to give it to the fellow workers.
Charley, be glad that white stuff is gone.
Keeping our paws crossed that Mom's story gets to the very top of the list. Take care.
Cranberries and raspberries are the same colour so we think your mix up is quite an easy one to make. Well done on getting on the list with your story - we will keep and fingers and pawsies crossed for a good outcome.
Charlie is looking his usual handsome self - he always seems so calm - does he ever have mad moments??
Who's mostly white, warm with love and furry??? Charlie, of course!!!
We are happy to see it is getting warmer.
Hehe ... raspberry, cranberry er.. they are all berries? Should taste the same? Being berry ignorant over berry ... I can only guess?
I am sure your colleagues will be delighted!
Long-listed??
Here's us all purring for a "short-list"!!!
Lots of luck on their way to ya!
SUPER-congrats!!! That is so awesome! ((hugs))
and that swiss roll looks delicious. :d scratches to Charlie~
Good luck my talented bloggy friend. Who can deny talent? Your pastry's look so scrump-delli-oshios or how ever you spell it. Co-worker's delight.
Love and Peace
*giggles madly* Yeah, not quite the same... though not awful if you had a ginger icing, i think.
Good luck with your story!
Good luck with the submission.
Hey, Charlie likes snow? Neat.
And .. hmm...how was the cake?
~JD
Our mama says cranberries are okay, but raspberries are much better...in fact they rate right behind cherries on her top 10 list!!!!!!!!
Do you like that cold white stuff, Charlie??????? Another totally handsome pic of you, dearest friend.
Old Kitty, we wish you lotza luck with your submission....we know you are the best!!!!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
That’s too funny – although the cranberry sauce may have been tasty, too.
Good luck with the short story.
Congrats on being long listed! I hope you make it into the anthology!!!!
Hey the cake looks great and am sure it will taste the same. Brilliant news about the writing. Continues paws and fingers crossed untill the short listing.. Hugs GJ xx
You may have stumbled onto a winning recipe. Sometimes goof-ups turn out to be successes.
I've got a raffle going on over at Unwritten. Send Charlie over to win ;)
My thoughts are with you on your submission- fairy luck be with you!
Ooh, best of luck! How wonderful even to be longlisted...yay!
I'm making sausage rolls tomorrow, I'll steer clear of anything that could be mistaken! x
Oh, no! Cranberry Sauce! I can just picture your work colleagues politely telling you it tasted so nice. LOL.
I'm sending out a cosmic-enhancement-mind-control-ray to the editor of 100 Stories for Queensland. You will choose Kitty's story. You will...
ALL THE GOOD WISHES I CAN, SENDING YOUR WAY. :-)x x x
Do I get an autographed copy first :-) ?
Good luck x
Good luck with your short tale, Kitty! And I think taking the cake to your co-workers is a great idea.
Oh, well, maybe something will happen and your story will make the short list. Oh, wait, that is the good list, isn't it? Or do we have that backward?
Hmmm, cranberry cake. Well, it would have been healthy. :)
actually I bet that might have been really good!
Isn't nice when you can pass things off to the people at work? lol
I miss those days!
Nail biting as I wait to hear your news. Tell Charlie we have more than enough of the white stuff, add to that the frigid temps. If he misses it that much...hop on a flight!
I saw this the other day and couldn't comment as I was elsewhere (as ever!) but didn't forget as now I am here, saying a BIG-HUGE-CONGRATs for the longlisted story!! Wow - fab acheivement, and I now have everything crossed (inc eyes) that it gets first to the shortlist, and then to the anthology. Yeay! C'mon short story!
