Sooo....

I've been off work for nine days and have to go back tomorrow. I did get a lot of things done, but very little of the main goal, which was editing. There were too many other priority interrupts, like the hay deliveries and the need to immediately stack hay bales. Oh well.

Now to see how the apple pie turned out. We got some home grown apples from a friend. They are quite tasty, but rather misshapen and some are a bit buggy, so it's easier to peel and cut them up for pie (omitting the bugs of course.) Report later. First pie, then bed.

*you hear the sound of rappidly approaching paws and with a zip there's a cat sitting next to the fridge awaiting pie*

And what have you done to earn the pie?

[cabcat.livejournal.com]

I found my mittens :)

OK. You're just in time, it was almost all gone.

[cabcat.livejournal.com]

Hooray :) I like cold apple pie ^.^

That's interesting. We booked almost the exact same week off work. :)

Last Monday was a holiday here, so it was a natural choice. A full week and two weekends for the price of just four days. ;p

pie in a bottle?

(singing softly)There never seems... to be enough time... to do the things you wanna do... well, you get the idea; you don't like bugs in your apple pie? Finicky, aren't we :P

As a friend said to me years ago, on watching me pick a bug out of my lemonade at a picnic, "You really ARE a vegetarian, aren't you?" ;p

But how does it stack up against my homemade, pesticide free, organic, 100% free range blackberry pie?

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Well, it wasn't bad, actually. :)

We get lots of those "free range" blackberries here too, with mosquitos to protect them from anyone who tries to pick some. We had several pies that incorporated them back in July, but the season is past now. I like the flavor of blackberries very much. I don't care for all those little seeds, though.

One of our favorite pies is bumbleberry, which includes blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, rhubarb, and apples. In order to get all of those things at once, at least one ingredient usually must have been frozen.

Darn it! I think you have me beat... I guess I'll just have to come over and help you eat your pies instead!

Be happy to arrange that if you're in the area at some future date.
