*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***

Hello again everyone, I'm a big fan of that spiced
chai but here's a crock-pot recipe that you'll scratch
your head over but if you can envision your holiday guests
ooo-ing and aah-ing over mugs of this wonderful drink
(and non-alcoholic too) you will want to give it a shot.
This CROCKPOT MULLED CIDER also fill the home with such
an aromatic bouquet that one can't help but get into the
holiday spirit the moment they enter through the door.
You can also make this in one of those large party-sized
coffee pots and let it brew. I call this holiday in a cup!

Enjoy!

Don't forget to dazzle your kitchen with cheer
this year. Hang boughs of holly, cookie cutters
tied with ribbons, and snowflake doilies and stars
in windows and from cupboards and ceilings Sprinkle
potpourri around the house to bring in the smell of
the holidays Sprinkle over the soil of houseplants.
It adds color and makes the whole room smell fresh.
(The petals and leaves eventually decompose) Toss
some potpourri into a crackling fire for even more
scent.
