AS the sun goes down earlier and the days grow shorter let's all congregate more with the ones we love. Let's spend more time laughing, loving deeper, and hugging tighter. With so much global chaos we need more than ever to connect. I don't mean on facebook or over the phone in general. Get in some good old-fashioned face time. Life is precious and we need our personal community to stay lifted.
That said one of my favorite drinks to make during this time of the year is The Old Fashioned. It tastes like autumn feels. Whether you're hosting or a guest, ad this OG cocktail to the menu.
2 oz bourbon
1 sugar cube
two cherries and an bit of an orange peel
club soda
muddle the cherries and the sugar cube at the bottom of the glass add bourbon and club soda put in an ice cube or two and add the orange twist at the end. For the non-alcoholic version use ginger-ale instead of bourbon.
Another awesome item to add to your arsenal is the Easy no bake blueberry pie. show up with one of these and it will be remembered. IT takes two minutes to make but 5hrs to set. Serve it up and you will hit sweet spots.
Graham Cracker pre made pie crust

one tub of frozen cool-whip
1.5 cups of walnuts or pecans
