Home Brewed (Hard) Cider

[Tulip]

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit clueless. The Pineapple cooler -- is that a drink, a way to prepare pineapple, or both? And if you eat the fruit, do you eat the skin too???

I have a story about apple cider. I never knew it was alcoholic. Back in college years, I had this french tutor. One day I decided to make it a cultural event and eat some crepes. My french tutor (who's really French, btw) told me the drink that goes with crepe is apple cider. I told her I would get it, which upon she was happy to hear. I bought some apple cider and served her a glass. She gave me this expression and asked, "This is apple cider?" She told me apple cider in France is alcoholic. I was like, "Apple cider is alcoholic?!? I just bought this at the supermarket!" hahahahah.....seriously, I never knew apple cider could be alcoholic. :p And up til now, I thought only french apple ciders are alcoholic.
