Market Scene: A New Market in Town

@bruisedbuddha this is my first time doing them, so I am not sure that my method is going to be exactly perfect. There are lots of recipes for brandied cherries on the Internet, and it's ok to substitute bourbon, my friends tell me. Many of the recipes have spices (ie., cinnamon, nutmeg, etc), but I kept mine pure -- adding bourbon and a smidge of simple syrup. Now they're in the closet for a month. If they come out, I will talk more about them - I promise. This recipe is from a friend of mine, and here's one from the NY TImes to get you started.

'Top Chef Masters,' Episode 2: The 'Lost' Dinner

I'm really loving this show too. It's super fun to watch, and I find myself smiling through the whole thing. The chefs are so fun and good-natured with each other. You should go back and watch week one, Adam -- the Hubert Keller scenes were absolutely priceless.

(and count me as a vote for TCTOS)
