In the 70s, a group of chemists at Pfizer Drug had a tradition. On January 2, upon returning from holiday break, they would put some fermentable substrate (mind you, they produced penicillen at the time), something alcoholic and a layer of fresh fruit. Easch month they added a new layer of fruit - cherries, pears, peaches, berries, etc. It was beautiful...and vented to prevent an explosion. By Christmas it was ready to break open and start over.

Always a bed for you, Kath. Hope the weather cooperates. Snowe is predicted for Wednesday and thursday but I haven't heard how much.
