Last Sunday we went to Greenbluff to pick apples. If I had known this was going to be the last great day of summer, I would have stayed there all day! It was so beautiful, sunny and warm. I picked a bunch of apples and pulled Owen around in a wagon. It was actually pretty heavy with all those apples and a twenty pound baby. I had this vision of my plucking apples down from the tree and placing them in my wood basket in all it’s glory, but it was more like a workout that included bench pressing apples and a baby. I made this applesauce, which was good but I don’t think I cared for the orange flavor which was pretty heavy. It proved to be fairly painful peeling all those apples, leaving me wishing for a fancy apple peeler, you know those things you really never need except once a year. Luckily I still have a whole crate of apples destined for a much plainer sauce, and lots of hand cramps to look forward to. Check out my pumpkin. Delish.

hey! we went on sunday too!! AND, i was just thinking about how we said we were going to make applesauce. can you make some more with me??
Katherine - I peek in on your blog now & again. You always make me laugh out loud! I love your honesty and take on life. I have to say, if this is the “fattest” you’ve ever been, you’re the kind the rest of us hate!!
And, you do look hot in your skinny jeans - way to go. Believe it or not, I have one of those apple-corer-peelers, and you MUST borrow it before your next batch of applesauce. I have to search to find it each fall, but it is always worth it…
