recently the baltimore city paper's "eat me" column was all about the making of homemade cider- regular and hard.  it turns out that making hard cider is quite...easy (and cheap!).  the process of making regular cider from scratch is not so easy, but if you're ok with buying some organic pre-made cider from whole foods then bingo! hard cider.  so misha and i took a quick trip out to our local brew store, the thirsty brewer, bought some wine yeast and a plastic airlock for about five bucks, and are now impatiently waiting for our first experimental batch of hard cider to stop bubbling so we can DRINK IT! more to come....
