Arrested Development on Netflix, or my new Community Season 2 DVDs?
Water, or homebrew?
Trim my beard, or be alone forever?
I tell ya, there's always another decision to make...

Apple Cider
There's a certain amount of crazy stuff going on right now, some good, some just crazy, but it's awfully nice to be able to relax in the evening with a glass of homemade apple cider.
It's rather cloudy in part because the juice I used was cloudy to begin with, and in part because it's a bit yeasty - I just fermented it right in the bottle I'm pouring it from now, with a bit of Cooper's ale yeast and about a quarter cup of additional corn sugar. I don't think it's terribly alcoholic at all (I didn't take any measurements) but it's pleasantly fizzy and not too dry. Just the thing. I may even try doing it properly sometime!
Of course it isn't making any of those crazy things less crazy, but sometimes it's just about, as the poet says, "Whatever gets you through the night."
