With apple picking season in full swing across the northeast, I knew it was only a matter of time before Chris would stop by and let me know that we were going to make some cider. This visit always makes me a little bit anxious because, to be perfectly honest, my relationship with cider is at best, shaky. Don’t get me wrong, I love cider dearly. I often have a gallon in the fridge and I am known for my mulled cider recipe. But when it comes to making it, things just seem to fall apart.

It just never seem to go as planned. Our first time ended in everyone getting a bit sick after drinking it, but that was only after we started out with a few totally failed attempts at fermenting pasteurized cider with bread yeast. There was also the time in under my bed in my old dorm room that I try not to talk about. But this time, we hoped things would be different. Firstly, we were considerably more experienced, and second, I was not in charge of it this time, Chris was.

Just got some rolls back from a whirlwind trip I took a little while ago. Here are some choice cuts.

I also just returned from a wedding in Mexico and I took a few gems while I was there, so you can expect those photos soon.

It works! Some unedited photos taken on the new Minolta a few weeks ago in moosehead lake, maine. I don’t have a battery for the light meter yet, so I had to take all of these blind. They turned out ok though.
