Today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year! I like this Jewish Holiday because it's a commemoration of the Big Bang which fashioned the universe and our planet. A great article on this is in today's Washington Post HERE. I'm observing today by going over to Whole Foods and Red Stick Spice to get stuff for a big meal tonight of celebratory foods like black eyed peas & apple cider, then watching the Rosh Hashanah Curb Your Enthusiasm episode HERE! Shana Tova! Happy Wednesday! Julie
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Spiced Apple Cider Cocktails
1 gallon fresh apple cider-10 cinnamon sticks-5 anise pods-3 teaspoons whole cloves-1 cup extra dark rum (optional) -Orange slices for garnish
Pour the cider into a large pot and simmer with the spices for 10-15 minutes. If you want, tie the spices up in cheesecloth for easy removal later - or just let people deal with cloves in their drinks. Add the rum at the end. Garnish with a slice of orange.
