nCybernMonday made its debut in 2005.
n
n
n
nNownthere’s Cider Monday. Also on the Monday after Thanksgiving, CidernMonday is a chance to step away from our computers and maybe evennfrom bargain hunting – a chance to slow down and warm up – anchance to support the arts and local businesses.
n
n
n
n
n
nSpecifically,nwe are urged to go to independent book sellers – actual bookstoresnwith walls and shelves of books to handle and leaf through and readnthe back covers. Some bookstores are offering free hot cider – andnif you’re lucky enough to be sipping the warm, fruity/spicy stuff,nhopefully you’ll take the time to scan the shelves for the next greatnbook to read!

n
n
nApplencider is a kind of apple juice – the really yummy kind! It’snunfiltered, unsweetened, and often heated and mulled. To be mulled isnto be heated with slices of orange and lemon, and with spices such asnnutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.
