standard weekend stuff

[ertai]

This weekend, I accomplish my "goal" of making an apple pie. My secondary goal of making my Quicksilver belt was not accomplished since I'm too lazy, but we did do other general tasks.

According to Wikipedia:

Cultivated banana plants vary in height depending on the variety and growing conditions. Most are around 5 m (16 ft) tall, with a range from 'Dwarf Cavendish' plants at around 3 m (10 ft) to 'Gros Michel' at 7 m (23 ft) or more. Leaves are spirally arranged and may grow 2.7 metres (8.9 ft) long and 60 cm (2.0 ft) wide.

Let's hope we have the dwarf variety, which is still too big for our house.

I guess we'll just have to dwarf it more!

Woe is banana plants.
The baby-plant of mine had grown am adult looking leaf while I was away. I guess it is a teenager now.

Hopefully it won't get rebellious and smoke.

That pie looks great!!

What kind of apples? Some are juicier than others. I think you can add tapioca to it to make it lesss watery? Its a common problem.

Good dog!! :)

I think they're Jonathan apples, but I'm not positive.

Its good that its a common problem because I always have that problem with apple pies. I tried to add more flour before, but I didn't like how it turned out (too dry and floury).

Oh, and yeah, good dog to the Alf!
