It's freezing here!
I am feeling a little better still every day. Working on the Luthien bio again. Since it is so cold, I decided I wanted the oven to be on for a while and to smell something baking. So I made this!
And we had a bowl of apples just slightly past their prime fresh eating state. So I baked an apple pie-I love the way it looks. I like a messy, rustic looking pie. I call it caramel apple pie. I had a recipe a year ago, but misplaced it and cannot remember where I got it. Dying to see how it worked-ran low on cinnamon, lost the original recipe, the apples were a little old! It turned out better than the one I made last Thanksgiving when I did everything right! Wow! Seat-of-the-pants is often better than slavishly following directions.
I hope Laura comes home soon! I want her inside and having a nice dinner before the temps drop even lower. Fat chance of that! Making salmon steaks, Brussel's sprouts, and shredded cheesy potato casserole. So happy to be well enough to make dinner again!!
Icon above -- Alex as a tiny sprout holding a live lobster (its claws were tied closed!) and that is a real fancy Chef's hat in the kitchen of a restaurant where his daddy was the Sous-Chef. Alex remembers helping that evening! OMG! I was terrified when I saw that photo the first time.
