Look, ma, no bottles.

Was discussing maple syrup with autumnesquirrel earlier ('cause I'm thinking of doing a maple wine this winter), and finally got irritated enough at myself to bottle the stuff that's been waiting for me to bottle it for ages. (The "Egyptian" braggot and the rhodomel.)

The braggot is a gorgeous mahogany colour, beautiful coloring. The rhodomel is . . .


Orange.

Not just orange, dirtydianadd orange. ;)

Out of bottles. But maybe this will get my dear Mother to stop tapping her foot at me to bottle up the booze.

I managed not to get too much of the stuff on the kitchen floor, but I smell strongly of the rhodomel after liberally anointing my left arm. But that's fine. It smells grrrrrrrrreat! (What was that guy's name? Tony the Tiger or something like?)

Grah. Food. Find food.

That's right. I think his latest gig is advertising chocolate-coated Frosties or some such abomination.

Mmm, maple wine.

Oh, and bottles. We still have a bazillion bottles for you. Need to figure out how to get those to you at some point. :)

Maybe we can haul 'em away if erispope and I manage to get to that party thing of yours?

That should work just fine. :)

Oh, wow. The rhodomel is indeed an excellent color. And Mom says that we can check on Maple Syrup if you want some from a known source. I'll be taking the commuter rail home and back again so I can take as much stuff as I care to carry.

Actually love. . .

I feel obligated to report that this spawned a rather strange conversation between Brooks and myself. I heard parsed "Heather's new wine is Orange!" as "Heather's new whine is "Orange!""

(Sort of like me randomly exclaiming Hrnk, or Arrrgghh. I thought you were randomly exclaiming Orange!)

Hilarity ensued.

suzi: Um, ok. Why?
Brooks: Something about the ingredients I guess.
suzi: What?
Brooks: Orange! Bright orange apparently.
suzi: (reverting back to poingy days.) I'm CONFUSED!

thought I should share. So I have. I'll go eat dinner now.
