Big thaw

Here's what you do:

1. Get a couple of half-gallons of sweet apple cider in season, from an orchard that presses its own.
2. Put one of 'em in the back of your freezer and forget about it.
3. The plastic jug will swell and, chances are, stuff will melt and re-freeze over it. Don't worry, it's still good.
4. Wait until a summer heat wave and thaw.
