Grand Marnier, Triple Sec, Kirsch, Kahlua, Amaretto, etc. For pies,
cakes, mousses, cookies, etc. Since I don't drink alcohol, I flinch at
the cost of assembling a collection of these for cooking. Bartering is
better. Speaking of which, one of my sisters has worked out a deal
with a chef at a local restaurant where she supplies him with wild
morels and stuff from her garden in trade for meals at his restaurant.
