Thanksgiving is hard for me. I get sad and grumpy. Sweetums understands. I don’t want to publish too much sad and grumpy so I’ll wait a few more days. And work on my ‘happy thoughts’ mantra.

November 24, 2012A Pie Making Day
November 7, 2012Even though I would prefer to knit with the Warrior Princess in my lap, I made an apple pie. This is my third this season. I have enough apples left for two ans a half more pies, so I’m debating on getting more apples. Two and a half just doesn’t sound like enough. A trip to Weber’s is planned for this weekend and Monday we’re going to Bird-in-Hand. I’ll have two opportunities to buy apples. I really should do it. They are not nearly as time-consuming as they used to be. Store bought pie crusts are now as good as I used to make. Several years ago, my daughter gave me a crank operated peeler, slicer, corer. Sometimes, I still need to do a little peeling and/or slicing. Winesaps are rather misshapen so it happens. Actually, I think my pies are better than ever because I can make them quickly and easily.
