Apple pie

My plan this past weekend-: make tarte tatin. French upside down pie.

Life happened instead.

Or better said, planting five fruit trees (including a persimmons) and attending a pruning class happened.

So. . . tonight Luke and I made apple pie.

Much simpler than fancy smancy tarte tatin that requires the flour, salt and sugar to chill for at least two hours and then the dough to head back into the refrig for another twenty - this all before touching the apples.

By the way I love peeling apples!

Winter weather, no Florida Fun

Sadness.

My Florida trip is officially canceled. The conference and with it the flight are no more. Ugh to winter weather.

This means no warm weather vacation for Luke and me. Ironically Luke still has a ticket, and we're paying for two nights at the Old Pineapple Inn. Anyone in Orlando who needs a weekend getaway?

And yet, given FEMA is literally shoveling out the Midwest, I guess it could be worse!!

Here are safe and warm wishes to all affected by the weather.
