Apple Pie




Today we made apple pie for our Tea on Tuesday home ec time. We discovered there really ISN'T enough dough in the mix to make a top and bottom crust as directed, so we improvised a sort of half-basketweave thing. The boys each read a bit while the pie cooked and I read the Little House book while the boys were eating lunch (and pie!!). Baby J was kept reasonably happy with drinks and potato chips. Lunch for him was squash.

  2. Well, the apple filling is from a can and the crust mixed and rolled from a box. So halfway home-made LOL! Still pretty good though! It's mostly about getting a little kitchen time in for the boys... something besides academics all the time. They wanted to do PE so badly today, but I told them sorry, it's six degrees out and no way!

  3. Any pie is good pie. I might now have to send Bear to the store to go get me an apple pie. :)

    psst we ended up doing nothing for tea, dad was home and I wasn't feeling well so it was a lazy day.
    I am looking forward to warmer weather here, this cold just stinks. We are around 3 degrees here today.

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
