Since my user name has the modifier "drunken" in it, I'm sure that it's no surprise that I'd be going ahead and writing about booze. I'm not going to lie. It's been a long fucking while since I wrote in here. It's been an even longer time since I wrote in earnest, when I thought what I had to say actually mattered... and when I thought that I didn't matter. HEY LIVEJOURNAL...FACEPLACE STOLE YOUR THING.
So here's the deal. On Sunday, I started my first attempt at an alcoholic beverage that I made with my own two hands. I started a batch of hard cider. Lordy only knows how this is going to turn out, but all indications show that the airlock is sealed, the cider was viable, and the Yeast is Working. Should my suspicions be confirmed and it turns a success, I'll make another batch and freeze it into applejack. Check out applejack if you haven't heard of it. This stuff is as American as it gets. Johnny Appleseed wasn't planting apple trees because he liked apples. He was planting apple trees because he liked making money off applejack. True story.
