COLGR49: Spiked Kirsch reflections

[Judith A. Panetta]

Ok..I admit it. I've made fondue. There's cheesy fondue and deserty fondue
(for little bits of bread or toasted cake instead of meat) And you glub glub
glub the alcohol at the last minute so it doesn't burn off. Part of the
fun...get tipsy by eating. "Lucy, have you been drinking?" "No, Rickie. Just
a little get together with the girls..."

This post sent me over to the liquor cabinet.... thinking that kirsch was
low in alcohol content.... it is not too bad - 18%, but even so, wouldn't
the alcohol burn off?  no matter... 18% and a Tupperware party... yeah, that
sets the scene for me.

Cheers,
Sam (back from the liquor cabinet - and not empty handed)
