Perry Making Adventure Pt. 1

So my crazy friend and I decided one day to put our pear trees to good use and make some pear cider. considering how the pears go to waste every year this sounded like an amazing idea that would not only be fun but there'd be a nice reward at the end. Unfortunately for her, someone stoled all her pears from her yard. Guess that's what you get for living in the ghetto. Anyway I just harvested my first round of pears and they look marvelous! I think I am going to throw in some peaches as well to make it a sweet twist. This will serve as a documentation of my process. First I picked only the pears that snapped from their branch when tilted horizontally. Now they are sitting on the kitchen table resting waiting to be put in the refrigerator for approximately two days. At that time I'll start the ripening process. Also at that time I'll update this. So for now. Adieu

By Summer's End

There are few things in life that can take a horrible day and turn it into a magnificent day. Or, be the icing on the cake to a perfect day. Each person I think has that "one thing." Sometimes it can be the same as your best friends. For some it may be unique only to them. I want to think that I am a bit unique. A couple of weeks ago, I remembered that since summer has begun Ducky's is open! So I hastened to the little shack off Union Street, and had my very first snow cone of the year! Yum! I had strawbana. I was in pure nirvana. But before putting in my order, I looked at the extensive list of other flavor options. It occurred to me I may have only tried five in my entire 27 years of living. It was then I decided for my second challenge of the Summer. I will attempt to try every flavor/flavor combination on that billboard in one summer :). I think I can do this as long as I get a small and go maybe twice a week. I'll make a list for myself perhaps on this blog and cross out any that I have tried. Well looks like I better get going on this! I'll make notes and blog about each one. I'll save my strawbana summary for later. Okay so it looks like this is going to turn into a snow cone blog. Hope you like it!
