So, I'm planning on hosting Thanksgiving dinner for locals in a few weeks -- complete with a tasting menu of homemade soft drinks, including raspberry shrub, ginger ale, and maybe even a lactarte or two. Previously, I've made duck, but the farm I got that from doesn't come to my local market anymore, so I'm thinking maybe hasenpfeffer or sauerbraten with homemade spatzle (assuming I can find my ricer somewhere in the depth of my kitchen supples).
Anyone intersted? I usually ask people to bring a side dish, like a salad or a really good crusty bread. I generally make my own desserts -- ice cream, pie, cheesecake, all homemade.
It's also a chance to show off the new apartment, which has windows and sunlight!

Basically, it's an old-fashioned soda made using lactic acid instead of citric acid like modern commercially-made sodas. I had one at the America Eats Tavern, which was a pop-up restaurant that was associated with the What's Cooking, Uncle Sam? exhibit, which was all about American federal food policy. It was a fascinating exhibit, and the restaurant served dishes based on historic recipes, including lots of beverages like lactarts, phosphates (sodas made using acid phosphate), and shrubs (fruit, vinegar, sugar, and water -- surprisingly tasty).
