cool weather = tea & baking!

What a perfect combination right?

It certainly FEELS like fall when it's like this, almost chilly, I must say. I don't want to jinx myself but I think I might be on the UPswing. lol

I got out my flour, shortening, measuring cups, had the ktbunch go scour the tree for any 'left-overs' & voila'! Apple Pie!

Last year I bought this giant cookie cutter type thing that creates a pie top filled w/ apple cut outs. I finally used it. I didn't use white flour & that was a mistake, the crust was a bit dry, no matter what I did but oh well. So it doesn't look that pretty but I'm sure (I hope) it will be tasty just the same right?

I'm planning, hoping, to make a chicken pie for dindin as well.
My back hurts w/ even a very little amount of standing so I am not too motivated to go back to the kitchen.

Can't we just have Apple Pie for dinner?
I mean it is ALL made from scratch....doesn't that make it extra healthy or something? :-)

And I enjoyed a nice cup of my Ethiopian tea. I will be so sad when I run out....
What better way to spend a chilly day, right? :-)
