Had a nice day out at the new Stem Ciders supercompound in Lafayette today, eating sausage and corn bread and drinking a variety of ciders. I don’t really remember much apple hanging around in Mexico — most of the fruit is more tropical and less hardy or stonefruit — but I figured this was more appropriate for today than whatever the Spanish word for “pimento cheese” is. Great place, would be really nice for a future Field Trip in the fall, when you can sit around the fire pit and look at the mountains in the distance.
