Lodi Hooch

I'm home with a sick child and as she sits silent between trips to the bathroom that require both of us, I find myself thinking. Thinking about Hooch. "Jail House" Hooch, home brewed hooch, some lousy hooch I brewed while living in Lodi with my in-laws during our remodel.

What is Hooch? Basically it is country wine and in the way of "jail house" - anything fermented that may give you a buzz. I attempted to brew plum hooch with an over-abundance of plums, sun ripe from Uncle Pep's farm. I also attempted peach hooch, some sits still bottled in the fridge and closet - getting "only better", if you will. While the hooch left much to be desired my labels for the bottles still tickle me.

All this thinking - was it about the drinking or the art? Maybe I have just once again gone plum crazy.
