The Insomniac Book Club cannot recommend "Uphill with Archie" by William H. MacLeish. Though it was interesting to me, I suspect it would be interesting to very few. I thought he'd never mention "alcohol," but eventually he did, so I suppose he isn't so deluded about his family life as one sometimes concluded from reading most of the book. I did like seeing switchel mentioned in print. The only on-line recipe I find has molasses, but ones I know about are, as mentioned in "Uphill" made from water, cider vinegar, and maple syrup, with perhaps a bit of fresh ginger juice squeezed into it.
