Cider Lovin'

I dislike beer, except for one you can get at Pike Place Brewery in Seattle, and Lenny's in Blommington IN, which means my choices when I go to an establishment are limited to expensive mixed drinks, or my other favorite beverage with a little kick. Cider.

Favorites so far are:
Strongbow - fresh, robust dry English cider
Newton's Folly - found at Trader Joe's, a crisp granny smith apple cider that is quite yummy

Hornsby's - is okay
Wyder's - has more variety than most with a few different types including a pear, but is not as good as the two above.


In a pinch:
Woodchuck and Woodpecker will do, but the others are better so far. I'll update this as I try different ciders and see what else I like.

Maybe I should look into learning how to make my own hard cider.

Wow, been a long time

Happy Valentine's Day Everybody.

I know I have not written in awhile...I will soon. Promise.

Right now life consists of working at the library, finally working again with the art library special materials (yay!), trying to afford my own health insurance, and condo hunting with the bf.

More soon, when I make more sense.
