> I've been. The food was good there like two decades ago. All accounts I've heard recently tell of a steep decline.

Yeah, nowadays Hamtramck is mostly South Asian but back in my parent’s day (1950s-70s) it was completely Polish but my gripe was some hipster non-Slav with a “trendy” restaurant in NYC expounding on pirogi.

> We have a sour cherry tree and a blackcurrant bush on our property

Growing up, my parents had two black cherry trees, a Gold Delicious apple tree, a plum tree and a sour cherry tree as well as currant bushes and a huge garden that took up half the backyard. In the late summer/early fall, mom and dad would pick and pit the sour cherries and fill up two 5 gallon glass jugs, then add a bunch of sugar and fill them up with Spirytus (every year someone would drive out to Chicago and pick up a case, as it wasn’t sold in Detroit back then).

These jugs of cherry liquor would then get stashed under the bar in the basement for the Christmas / New Years holiday and within that week or so, would get polished off by various Polacks at our Christmas or New Years party (my parents switch off with my godparents).

Has anyone tried this? Fucking 95% alcohol content

Pic related for straight, just in sips not shots

Stoli or russian standard for mixing

Anyone ever tried this? Considering getting myself a bottle.
