By Paul Goldfinger at the New Jersey Cranberry Festival.
The food stand on the top photo had a sign that said, “Shiksabob.”
We wondered about that dish. Was their word spelling correct for their language, or was this an English misspelling ?
We said it over and over until we figured out that it was a misspelled word: Let’s try “Shiskabob.” No–that’s not a word.
Then we said: “Sishkabob,” but no, that was rejected.
But we finally realized that it was “Shishkabob,” but we tried so many versions that we began speaking gibberish and we seemed to have become fahblunget. Or farblunget. Oh, “farblunget” means hopelessly screwed up in Yiddish.
And, last but not least, the correct word (s) is “shish kabob.” And even though I briefly thought I was having a stroke, we finally became coherent again as we walked to our car.
On the way, there was a row of toilets at the Cranberry Festival with the name “Mr. Bob’s” on each door. A lady came out of one and walked towards me.
I held out my hand and said, “Hi, I’m Mr. Bob, and that will be 50 cents. ” She laughed and breezed by. No more Mr. Bob jokes.

On Oct. 20 and 21, 2018, (next weekend) is the 35th Chatsworth Cranberry Festival. It’s fun. Read about it at http://www.cranfest.info.
This is a very crowded event in the Pine Barrens, about an hour from here. The best bet is to go on Sunday morning early and park along the side of the road.
New Jersey is one of the most important cranberry growing regions in the world with over 3,500 acres devoted to the crop. In the US, we are second in size to Wisconsin and Massachusetts. Cranberries are grown in bogs where the soil and water requirements are quite complicated. The harvest is usually complete by the end of October.
In New Jersey, most of the growing occurs in Burlington County, around Chatsworth, where the annual Cranberry Festival will be held this month.

We go to the Festival to enjoy this unique cultural event—-Appalachia in Jersey. Hear bluegrass music and buy fresh picked cranberries. Eileen purchases her usual 7 pound box.
In 2015 we were away for the Festival, so we drove to Tabernacle, NJ ( BF search Tabernacle)) down the road from Chatsworth, one week later, and visited Russo’s Farm Market where Eileen purchased her supply of cranberries.
She makes fresh cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving and freezes the rest of the berries in small Ziploc portions to use throughout the year. Fresh cranberries can be purchased at Wegmans and Delicious Orchards.

Below is Eileen’s recipe for homemade cranberry sauce. It’s a treat for your company on Thanksgiving, so don’t get bogged down with that gelatinous canned stuff.
EILEEN’S CRANBERRY SAUCE:
1 cup of water
1 cup sugar
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 orange, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/8 cup Grand Marnier (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:

Flavonoids and “good fats” are found in chocolate, especially the dark variety (which, in small doses, is also good with another heart-healthy food—red wine).
But watch out–chocolate is fattening and is not good in a Milky Way or chocolate cake. No one knows what a healthy dose is, but the Cleveland Clinic says one ounce would be good. Can you eat only one ounce of chocolate?
