Found out that lairds applejack is brewed a county or two over from me here in New Jersey. Sparked my interest so I’ve been looking at different drinks to make with it. Tried this one out tonight. It’s called a Jack Rose. Apparently mentioned by Hemingway in his novel The Sun Also Rises. Fancy-like but tastes good.

Hemingway would know. Read that book, but way too long ago to remember. -

Surg Got you some Laird, that’s a good one, especially this time of year. Cider has more than doubled in price this year & that is not one of the real good ones. But, the Sun Also Rises too.

Surg Changing it up every so often helps the taste buds stay sharp. Keep testing that parameter.

Had a big hankerin for eggnog, added some Southern Comfort to it last night. Come to find out I’m not a huge SC fan as I used to be in my young lad days. So tonight I had some Baileys that is typically for my coffee. Well I got to say, this is a very nice pairing

bocephus I can see the cinnamon schnaps being really good with the hot chocolate, even better than creme de menthe.

We have a great historical park in town called Carrillon Park. They have a brewery constructed to make beer the old way as part of the parks living history and education. Last night the wife and I had dinner there and had a few beers, before walking the 65 acre park to look at Christmas lights. I had their Spruce Ale seasonal and man was it good. I forget the exact ABV, but it was about 8 to 9 %. It was brewed with real Spruce tips. I did not take pics of the beer I drank, but did take a few inside while they were brewing a Wit Beir. The big kid working in the white shirt is our youngest son.

GWG8541 That is real nice. I would like to go there some time. Tell your son not to work too hard, he looks like he is hard at it.

calldoctoday will do, if your ever in Dayton, it is well worth the visit and I’ll buy you a beer. The park is also home to one of the Wright Brother’s original planes and the Wright Cycle shop. It also has a wing about the National Cash Register company (NCR), which has an amazing collection of the cash registers made here as well as many other great innovations from our neck of the woods.

GWG8541 I thought I had heard about it somewhere & that must have been it. I am going to hold you to it now.

So when you make and break 9 batches of Peanut Brittle, you have a nice amount of crumbs. We ussually keep them and sprinkle then on ice cream.
I had a thought, which can be dangerous at times. Why not use the crumbs in an Old Fashioned instead if sugar. After all, the crumbs are basically caramelized sugar with peanut essence.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Peanut Brittle Old Fashioned. You saw it here first.

HerbcoFood I hate when that happens. Hopefully he didn’t kick you in the stomach as well.

GWG8541 Fortunately those days of going to deep into the booze are behind me, just trying to get better at my hair not hurting the next day!

HerbcoFood I hear you. I’d like to think I’ve learned my lesson over the years. There is a reason they call it sipping whiskey.

GWG8541 Well sometimes I get excited and forget what I am drinking, other times I impress my self how much gets sipped over a 12 hour time period.
