Hot Mulled Cider Day

If you are in the Northern Hemisphere chances are that by the time the end of September rolls by, the days are getting shorter and colder. Warm the days up by drinking Hot Mulled Cider on September 30.

Hot Mulled Cider Day is a made up holiday that celebrates the beverage made out of warm apple cider mixed with brown sugar and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, mace and cloves.

How to Celebrate?

Make a batch of hot mulled cider and share it with family and friends.
Add some alcohol to the cider to make an adult beverage.

Did You Know…

…that technically cider is an alcoholic beverage made out of fermented apple juice? In many parts of the world, however, cider usually refers to non alcoholic fermented apple juice, while hard cider refers to the alcoholic version of the juice.

After leaving the Army, I applied for a hunting permit but was told I would first need to take a hunter’s safety course.

“I’m a veteran, trained in handling firearms,” I said. “Why wouldn’t I get a waiver?”

The clerk replied, “Because we teach you not to shoot people.”

I just got a GPS for my car, and my first trip with it was to a drugstore. Since the manual said not to leave it in the car unattended, I brought it with me into the store.

While there, the GPS came alive, and a voice stated, "Lost satellite contact."

I wasn't embarrassed until a woman turned to me and said, "Your ankle bracelet monitor is talking to you."

A wealthy New Yorker, "dressed in the Abercrombie & Fitch version of What a Man Should Wear in the Wilderness," walks up to a laconic Maine lobsterman.

"I see you are using fish bait for lobsters. You think it's good, do you?" he asks.

The lobsterman shakes his head. "No, I don't. But the lobsters do."

Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found an elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet-who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down, I asked if his wife was meeting him.
"I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."
