The Native Origins of a Classic American Treat

I am here to report success with the alchemical wonders of peanuts, candied in the skillet. From sugar water syrup to salty dryness to golden coat, it was lead into gold. They are now cooling on top of the refrigerator, but we had to at least try a few hot. Did I mention the sea salt and cinammon?

The Dufflebag wanted to make homemade "grape soda." We bought some seltzer and concord grape juice. When we got home, he asked if would taste the same as the type you get on Thanksgiving.

"Can't really answer for sure on that one," I said. "We'll have to see."

Is homemade grape soda really a Thanksgiving tradition? If so, thanks to the natives. I look forward to your delicious and refreshing treat.
