A low alcohol version of the traditional margarita, using sparkling apple cider as the alcohol carrier for the drink, with lime and 2 Tbs Tequila or Mescal and Cointreau per tall glass for flavor. My friend Jane tasted this in West Virginia and recommended I make this summer drink with my home made apple cider. Thank you, Jane.

You can make apple cider vinegar “with the mother” from apple juice in 3 weeks, add more juice every 3 weeks, let it ferment all year from apple harvest to apple harvest, while using it. Out of season, you can use frozen apple juice.The vinegar mother is the culture of acetic bacteria that ferments apple juice to vinegar.

Somehow or rather, I can't help but change the whole recipe and make it into my own. I replaced the Chinese herbs with some Western spices. Instead of adding chicken stock, I only use apple cider vinegar as the only liquid ingredient. My mother will be thinking that I must be crazy. Lol! Anyway, as I was cooking the chicken, I kinda improvised along the way and this is how this open faced sandwich is born.The magic of using a crock pot or slow cooker is that it is able to retain the liquid. It will not dry out the chicken breast or any other kinda meat and you don't have to worry about the dish burning. Maybe I should start using the crock pot more often. I am thinking of BBQ pulled chicken or even teriyaki pulled chicken. Let's see. As for now, I really hope you wil

Another easy, throw together recipe that fills the house with such great aromas as it cooks. I like doing this in the pressure cooker as we can't wait to dig in. Quick prep the night before and dinner couldn't be easier or tastier.
