Its fall! Falling into fall, fab fall, fall favorite...however you want to say it, its officially that time of year. I love fall, but hate winter. I like fall because its a good excuse to be cozy (aka lazy) inside and snuggle up, without feeling guilty about not being outside. This long weekend, we have some falltastic plans in store (courtesy of Chris and his always flowing ideas). Some things on the list are to mull (then spike?) some cider, go for hike, cook a hearty meal, and squeeze in a little crafty craft. I'm going to attempt to make these crazy little candle holder, before I drink the spiked cider of course.
This is the recipe I'm going for, sounds feisty, I love it.

2 quarts apple cider (8 cups)
12 oz. spiced rum
