Which is better---- -- tasting? -- for you? -- more appropriate for tree cutting? I told the hubby I wanted to go up to the mountains this year (where we went to college, about an 1.5 hr drive) to cut a live Christmas tree. I told him we'd take a thermos of hot apple cider. He balked at the thought of apple cider and said…

MFPers from across the country meet!
Note: Don't meet just anyone you 'know' over the internet.
