A Pie for My Nephew
This is a boy I like to cook for, since he appreciates everything I put on the table. He's here for the weekend, and he likes apple pie, so we baked him one.
Oh! Delicious! What kind of apples do you usually use? I tend to go for Granny Smiths, but the MacIntoshes looked so beautiful at the market, I had to get some. Can't wait to use them! Thanks for the fall inspiration.
Oh yes, there is so much gratification when making something for someone who loves your stuff. Makes ya want to make them things all the time just so to hear their sweet compliments and see them smile.
I grew up without parents. Living on my own by 17. I never knew the first thing about cooking or family life. You seem to know so much and I so enjoy dipping into your world of this vast knowledge. Your children are so blessed to have your example. It does cause me to crave for a mother, for someone I could have learned from. I've learned some things about keeping a home and cooking a meal but there is still so much to learn and the childen are growing so quickly. It pains my heart.
Pie making is in the air today. I have two French Apple Pies cooling on the counter for company tonight. Picked the apples fresh this morning from our trees! Yum! Can't forget the homemade crusts....Enjoy yours too. Thanks for your peaceful blog. Colleen in Iowa
