Most recipes call for Calvados (an apple brandy, of which I have no real ... http://www.ardenstone.com/2008/01/20/golden-dawn/ I hope you're all having fabulous holidays. Given that I'm now officially someone with an MBA as opposed to someone studying to get an MBA (turned in my final homework last Friday), I'll try to post a little more often. Of course, the best way to start is with a ... http://www.ardenstone.com/2007/12/18/oatmeal-cookie-cocktail/ That's right, folks: it's that time of the year again. December 5th is Repeal Day!
