And we made cider Sunday which was equally amazing - our freezer now holds 8 quarts of the delicious stuff. We picked the apples, chucked the rotten ones, washed them, ground them up, and pressed them. About two and a half hours later (from trees to the pressing process in the driveway) we'd make nearly 6 gallons, only about 3 of which were really drinkable from sweet apples - the rest was just too tart and will go toward cooking cider or vinegar.
We also now have a leg of lamb in our freezer, which I will periodically think about and vow to learn to cook, but mostly I'll just take it out and look at it, and pray to Shari Lewis to forgive me.
My hand still hurts from cranking the grinder.
Last night Mr. Man and I went to trivia and even though his coworkers crashed and are idiots, it was exciting to *gasp!* go out on a weeknight!
Tomorrow will be the best Friday ever...field trip to the museum at work, and Halloween, and...KARA'S COMING!
more animals
Cheese and vodka. And then some more.

of course the cheese and vodka will be a nice bonus.
