Bitterness starts out small. An offense burrows its way into our hearts. We replay it in our minds, creating deep ruts that will be hard to build back up. We retell our hurts to any available listener, including each sordid detail. We enlist support, pushing us further into our resentment. We hear the offending person's name and cringe. We decipher the offense as intentional and our offender as full of spite. We look for other reasons, both real or imagined, to dislike our villain. With each new piece of information, we form another layer of bitterness. We fool ourselves into thinking no one will know, but anger and resentment have a way of seeping into everything. Resentment is like a beach ball we try to submerge in the water. No matter how valiant our efforts, it pops up with all its vitality, splashing everyone around.

INSTRUCTIONS

Just got back from the Disney Institute again and as always, I had a
marvelous time. You guys have got to go! I took: Imagineering!, Radio
Drama, Outdoor Photography, Celebrations!, Boxing Aerobics, Animation
Sampler, Romantic Dinners, Canoe Adventures and Taste of the Word: Bayou.
Celebrations: Holiday Brunch: Celebrations is a class that shows you how to
have a dining event that not only tastes good and looks good but is
generally enjoyable. Fitting with the holiday season, we worked on a
holiday brunch. Aside from these recipes, we learned about table
presentation, planning and tricks to make the event memorable. We also
created several types of food related decorations.
In a large bowl combine all the ingredients. Tie 1-tablespoon batches of
the mix in cheese cloth or muslin bags and tie with string. As decoration,
you can tie a stick of cinnamon to the outside of the bag. One bag makes
enough to flavor 1 quart of cider.
To make mulled cider, put the bag in a pot with 1 quart of cider. Bring to
a slow boil and simmer for 20 minutes, covered. A 1/4 cup of rum may be
added to spice it up a bit more.
