Today's progress

[treeskin]

One (1) load of laundry done
Cleaned kitchen so I could do mead things
Decanted and bottled one batch of oak leaf mead
Opened carboy on second batch of mead, frowned at the ook, and dumped the whole business in the compost pile
Cleaned carboys
Finished By's gift afghan, got the ends woven in, folded afghan for presentation, and left it in his chair (it's un-encatted so far)
Counted afghan squares, since I lost track: 192/169 squares

I'll update more about the trip later; I'm still not feeling too social.

Thank you very much, and it certainly isn't a hurry. (Since I dumped the "oh, that's not shiny" batch on the compost pile yesterday....)

Probably won't need bottles and such until May or June. Then, hopefully, I'll need a bunch, because the rum project will have worked out.

You wouldn't happen to have a recipe for gin, would you? Not the dump stuff in the bathtub kind, I mean the proper, spiced and distilled kind.

Now Jera,
I know you are not talking about the highly illegal activity of making moonshine gin, and If I did just happen to know a recipe, and know how to build a still (that will not explode :) I would of course never share that information in a public forum, I’ll tell ya later :)

Believe it or not, it's not for me. One of the folks at work used to be in the Peace Corps, and someone he worked with there made it. He lost his copy of the recipe, and sent me on a quest to retrieve it.
