Mmmmmmmmmm... I am beginning to recover from gardening when the wind chill is down to 25 *-4 C, Urs! Am I nuts?!* because I mulled some cider.

It's funny how things which were always so exotic to me when I was growing up in the desert turn out to be so doggoned simple. I mulled it in the microwave in a covered bowl.

1 quart cider, room temperature
6 cinnamon sticks (broke them in half)
a few allspice berries
a few anise seeds
then a teabag with nutmeg, cloves, ginger--less than half a teaspoon of any of them, less than a quarter teaspoon ginger

I heated it 7 minutes on high and 10 more minutes on medium. It's about as hot as coffee... and not so exotic at all. But ohhh so good on a freezing cold day! My insides are starting to thaw.

Thank you! I confess, tis the old Tupperware dealer in me that thinks of these things. I used my Stack Cooker. LOVE that thing! I know some people keep mulled cider in a crockpot but I would have to get a third one, a smaller one... not that it's impossible, mind you! There's one on sale for $11 right now lol.... but I already have the Stack Cooker.

I do too-- esp. hard ciders.

I like hard cider too but check the labels, many of them contain the evil sodium metabisulphite that I am highly allergic too

The crockpot is a 1 quart.

A Stack Cooker is a microwave cooking system. The bowls are round and they stack together to let you cook a main course, a side dish and a dessert all at once. I used the large bowl and the cover (lid) for the cider.

That is the worst thing I have heard in a while.

Yuch. Poor you.

A Reuben casserole would be right up my ally. Feel free to send one to me. I don't mind Reuben is my favorite sandwich though sometimes I make it with Turkey. One time I made it with fake sliced Turkey. Not bad.

How is that place in business with food that bad?

Mmmm Reuben is one of my fav sandwiches too. Someone turned me onto it recently in the past few years. I like fresh deli bread toasted then some corned beef and brisket with swiss cheese add some thousand island a bit of mustard and sauerkraut and you have yourself a delish sammich!

happy Monday everybody. Any exciting food recipes ya'll are up to this week? Any thing brewing for Xmas?

Tonight I'm making some ground beef and bean green chili burritos with diced onions and tomatoes and some shredded cheddar.

I want to make some pumpkin emapanadas and some sugar cookies for xmas!
