There have always been a few things I've really wanted in life, which I find ironic. I absolutely love technology, from computers to Ipods, and kitchen gadgets and whatever I love it. But I also like doing things the old fashioned way, the hard way, or whatever. I love making my own bread, dying my own yarn, planting crops (though without a yard that's kinda challenging in itself) and doing things like that. Sure I like just ordering Pizza, but I also like baking my own.
For one example, last weekend I got to make cider. Over 7 gallons of it. I was helping out some friends, I chopped apples (removing any rotten bits) I milled apples both in a meat grinder as well as a food processor, and even helped with the pressing. It was a ton of work and a great time and I know a lot of people wouldn't have even considered it. But even though the cider in my fridge might not taste any better compared to the store for people who weren't involved, but to me it tastes even better!
