four cans of cranberry sauce

Believe it or not, I worry four cans will not be enough.

we will have turkey and dressing at least twice. Once with the Pennsylvania, son and then again with him and the Mississippi Son (and families). The Pennsylvania son (6'8") can eat about a can all by himself. He loves the stuff. The wife makes a nice cranberry relish that we will all eat, but the junky favorite in our family is the old jelly type, cold, sliced and eaten with the dressing portion for portion. It is a family monkey on our (sons and me) back. I think the grandsons fell right under the tree too.

I am certain the four cans will get us through the days when I won't shop - to the days over the holiday weekend when I will shop.

A question for the old farts here. Do you guys remember the Airburst Nuclear Test years when they were afraid that the cranberry crops were contaminated with Strontium 90? There was a year my mom and dad refused to buy cranberry sauce and mom made some evil blackberry, black cherry and cherry jello mixture stuff that she served in place of cranberry sauce that year.
