Fall Apple Pick’ns

Photo lost when the old site was hacked. (his and hers…) Newer posts will have photos.

In this household no liquor is left behind.  We have an Apple Muffins post coming up and part of that recipe required soaking the apples in apple brandy.  So, a by-product of breakfast was our after-dinner drink.  We figured we’d post this first. It has been a long week here in NYC.  Anyone else need a cocktail?

The two drinks below are pretty similar. They are his and hers, even though His may seem more like a Hers and vice versa.

This has happened before.  Picture this: we are out to dinner with friends and decide to order cocktails.  Z picks something rum-based.  A picks something whiskey-based.  A few minutes later the waiter approaches with a tray — one cocktail is served up, bright pink and accompanied by an umbrella, one cocktail is in a tumbler, serious stuff.  The waiter starts to hand the pink drink to A until she stops him: “I’ll take the man drink.  The girly drink is for him.”

 

His

Hers

(Makes 1 drink)

Both of these drinks will make you forget that you had a long week.  They will make you forget that the Celtics lost to the Nets last night (seriously Celtics????), and they will both put a little hair on your chest.  Long week or not, we recommend trying both!
