It’s not quite what you were asking, but in the same spirit. The website Lasagna Love helped me during a dark time. I’ve since enjoyed returning the favor. Really awesome people.
I live in Colorado, so generally some unusual form of weed for those who enjoy that. A dispensary near me has THC chocolate truffles, those usually go over well.
It’s a docudrama about New Orleans right after Katrina. A great, but difficult and disturbing watch. It was mostly filmed locally and each episode was named after a song and featured a local band. It was also a fundraiser.
Hi all! I'm new here, so lmk if this is out of line, but what if we did a short story since December is generally busy for folks? Maybe a selection from "Stories of Your Life and Others" by Ted Chiang, or "The Machine Stops" by E.M. Forster?
Thank you for this post - I’m now aware of this community (and subscribed) and will join you all for some reading fun in January!
If time is a problem in December, you could consider having it be a “short story” month. Like maybe a selection from “The Story of Your Life and Others,” or something like that.
I’ve had mine for about 35 years and done minimal maintenance. I’m about to send it to Victronox for a “spa visit” because the red casing got cracked. They will do a full cleaning and overhaul (and repair) on it for a very reasonable price. They really do stand behind their work.
Apple juice is not cider though. Apple juice is clear and flat. Cider (alcoholic) is clear and bubbly. Cider (nonalcoholic) is brown and served hot or cold and spiced or unspiced.
Any of these can be made with other fruit, but apple is the most common.
Gnocchi with cream sauce, one of my favorites.
