Baked Bourbon Apples, because you need this.

Apples. Bourbon. Cinnamon. Sound good so far? Good. Try this- What ya need: 2 medium sweet apples (I like Fuji or Gala for this) 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon of white sugar 1/4 teaspoon of agave nectar 1 tablespoon of fine ground cinnamon 1 stick of cinnamon 1/4 cup of bourbon (real Kentucky bourbon, not whiskey that's just called bourbon)  Ok, so- Preheat your oven to 375ºF. Core and slice the apples. Lay the slices, skin side down, into a disposable foil pie pan. Pour the bourbon and agave nectar over the apples and set aside. In a small bowl, mix the other ingredients until all are well incorporated. Dust this mix over the apples. Seal the pie pan shut by placing a piece of foil over the pan and crimping the foil over the pie pan edge. Place the pie pan into the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Then take them out of the oven, let cool for four or five minutes, and serve. Remember to throw away the cinnamon stick! Enjoy!!

You're not Matlock. You want to stay comfortable on a hot day, get a linen suit. I can go on about this, but I won't.  Fanny packs with a suit... No. I've seen it. Really, I have. It's not okay. A North Face fleece jacket, or nay other polar fleece jacket, over a sport coat or suit jacket looks as ridiculous as it sounds. A good wool topcoat, long or short, or a trenchcoat (if the weather is proper for it) look better and work better than fleece. Everyone understands that your b
