Vanbrugh - sounds like a fun time to me. Never tried Apple liquor have tried apple wine. When my wife was around we used to have a wine and cheese party every Friday night. I cut the cheese and she whined. We make a lot of homemade apple butter here. You say you made chicken pot pies. In Pennsylvania Dutch country our pot pie is totally different than what most people call pot pies with a crust. We cook the chicken a few potato’s maybe some carrots and celery and the dough All in one pot. No crust or anything like that. The dough gets really “slippery.“. We season it with saffron Which is Pollen from the crocus flower. We locals love it. Folks from other places make fun of us because it doesn’t have a crust but that’s why we call it pot pie because it’s made in a pot not a pie pan. It would be fun to do some historical research to find out which came first you’re kind of my kind. I’d like to try those cheeses too I’m into any kind of cheese except that plastic stuff they call American cheese. I was at the market today and one of our vendors has a 21 year old aged cheddar 1/3 of a pound for $75 can you believe it I didn’t buy any. I like cheese but I can’t afford that kind of price. I’d be afraid of liking it and then wanting it all the time. We do have a local Amish Farm that has grass fed organic milk and makes us very sharp Raw milk cheese. Very sharp!!! This is also the time of the year we have homegrown celery. We bleach it before we eat it so it’s white and sweet and juicy. It’s a special treat we have usually from October through mid February. One of my friends at market had some sweet corn yet so I bought some he said he’ll probably have more for next week but then it’ll be over. Good Lord I just found out it’s 2 AM and I’m talking about food I better get to bed.
