APPLE PIE!

APPLE PIE! MMMmmm!!!

I made my first apple pie for the season! Many more pies to come! Before I put it in the oven I showed it to Mark and he said "It's so, soooo, American!" He said it was just like on TV commericals! That means I have made it!!!

In addition - I worked on my apple peeling skills and and discovered that I could peel an apple and make a big long curly peel!

And unlike my pie cooking with Liz Toole, I did not add that hint of garlic to my apple pie. The first time I made an apple pie, I gave Liz my wood cutting board to peel and cut the apples. After finishing almost all the apples Liz commented that they had an unusal smell. Which we discovered was the smell of garlic from the cutting board! And thereafter, became my secret ingredient. Just a hint of garlic!
