I love seasonal flavors, and that includes holiday beers. This one, brewed in Cincinnati, is called Santa's Bribe. The label says it's a Christmas cookie ale, but I don't know about all that. It's supposed to have cinnamon, ginger and vanilla. I don't really detect those flavors, but it's a nice smooth beer and that's good enough for me.
The brewery is named for President Taft, from Cincinnati, our 27th president. On the label he is in a bathtub because local legend tells that he was a hefty guy and he once got stuck in his bathtub and required assistance to get unstuck.
Yesterday I made Thanksgiving applesauce, lots of applesauce. For my family here, and I'll take some to North Carolina. Drop some off for a friend who will be eating alone. Lucky for me, the Granny Smith apples were on sale, and they were huge.
Tears - happy ones. I just learned that Nora was selected for Hamilton and Clermont County Honor Band, playing bassoon. That kiddo, like others, has had a rough junior year and it's nice to have good news.
