This 5 hour, 75 mile ride had a lot to offer. Two bridge crossings, a dog chase, a walk down memory lane, and even gluten-free sweets.
My husband John, has spent every free moment planning a late-spring ski tour to the Swiss Alps. One morning he looked up from the whirlwind of trip-related emails, phone calls, route maps, and gear lists and asked me to recreate the hearty muesli he ate daily on last year’s ski tour. 
The Mix: steel-cut oats with granny smith apples, raw walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and balsamic vinegar
The Story: Let other folks have their matzo balls and macaroons. The Passover dish I look forward to most is haroset. My family’s version is elemental: coarsely chopped granny smith apples, raw walnuts, freshly grated cinnamon, and nutmeg. A generous pour of Manischewitz dies the mixture a muted purple-brown color. It’s ugly and inexplicably delicious.
