At some point during the Fall, I get tired of the pumpkin things and move on to the apple things. I go out and buy the best apple cider available, the Trader Joe’s spiced apple cider, and then I make everything I can with it.

The initial plan for Maggie’s birthday had been to drive out to New Braunfels, float the river, and enjoy each others’ company.
