1. I brought the slow cooker upstairs and poured the Cincinnati chili sauce I made on Saturday in it and slowly heated it up, allowing it to simmer and the flavors to continue to blossom.
It worked!
All of us, Carol, Molly, Christy, Paul, Meagan, Debbie, Patrick, Brian, and I enjoyed the sauce poured over spaghetti and with some combination of onion, grated cheddar cheese, black beans, and oyster crackers over it. Some of us also enhanced our meal with dashes of Frank's RedHot Sauce.
2. It had been a while since we had a Bourbon Renewal as a cocktail, so tonight I cracked open the new bottle of Stein 5 year rye whiskey, combined it with creme de cassis, fresh lemon juice, and a dash of Angostura bitters.
The Stein distillery was also the source of our dessert: I served everyone a small pour of rhubarb cordial.
3. With Patrick and Meagan in the house, we had a larger than usual gathering and conversation was even more far ranging than usual as topics as unlike each other as how Kellogg people are decorating their houses for Halloween and Patrick and Meagan's fun time on their cruise to Alaska bouncing around the living room.
