Albert is standing over a cider press that he made with his resourcefulness of being able to look at objects like lunch trays and cutting boards, and see useful parts of a cider press.
Albert is known for his love of apples and is famous for his applesauce. But this apple season he has gone beyond "Albert's World Famous Applesauce" to now "Albert's World Famous Apple Cider." He invited us over to make cider at his house.
To make cider:
First you have smash the apples. Whole apples. Don't peel them, don't core them. Just smash them.
Once they are smashed, then you can fill the press:

And then just turn the knob and cider starts pouring out! Aaron did all the hard work of smashing the apples. I just watched the juice pour out.

mint hot chocolate. egg nog. and now apple cider - things that normally leave us longing when we think of them. Thinking of them makes me want to curl up under a blanket in front of a fire with a hot cup (or cold cup) with a book or a movie. So far this asian winter we have enjoyed all of these drinks, no fire, lots of movies, and the occasional book. I would say it has been a great winter. AND the egg nog and cider that we have enjoyed here have been better than egg nog or cider I ever had in the US. Y'all want to move here now, don't you?
