A is for Apple
After spending all of Saturday writing a paper on Ann Bancroft, I was all ready Sunday to do something a little less computer and studying involved.(side note on the paper - S had 12 notecards, some with only one sentence on them, that we were supposed to magically turn into a four page paper. Not happening.)
Anyway, Sunday was beautiful. The weather was perfect. I opened the windows, decided they were dirty and attempted to wash them. (Note to self - without the use of ladders, this is quite dangerous. Don't do it again.) Around one, after the window fiasco, I decided I needed to do something. Something that involved the outdoors and some physical activity. So I got in my truck and drove to Goodwill, which involved none of these things. After not buying anything, I drove south. After a slight detour to Belle Plain, I went to Minnesota Harvest where I was both outdoors and working in some capacity. I got onto the wagon, rode out into the orchard and picked myself a peck of apples. Deciding which apples may in fact have worms in them is a good game.
I went home and started eating the caramel apple pull apart I bought. I began thinking about what baked products I have recipes for that call for apples. Pie, bread pudding and apple crisp all came to mind. We'll see how motivated I am to actually bake this week. If it's cold, I can always use the oven to help heat the house. I refuse to turn the heat on.
