Apple Pie

Apple Pie
Tonight all the Post's will be at our place for a turkey dinner. I made homemade apple pie for dessert. Here are a couple pictures of my 2 pies. I put one in the freezer for another time. Grandma Fischer always says to freeze a pie just in case you get company. Art is allergic to cinnamon, so I didn't sprinkle cinnamon on the pie I am making tonight.



I love the pie crust recipe. It's so flake and yummy! Here is the recipe.
Pie Crust
3 c. flour
1 t. salt
1 1/2 c. shortening
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. vinegar
cold water (~5-7 T)
mix salt and flour, cut in shortening
Mix in egg, vinegar, and water.
This should make 3 crusts
Bake at 400
Apple Pie Filling

1 c. sugar
2 T. flour
1 t. cinnamon
1/8 t. nutmeg
1/8 t. salt
6-8 medium sized apples
2 T. butter
combine sugar, flour, salt, and spices.
Mix in apples.
Fill pastry, dot with butter and put the top crust on -
make sure you cut out "vents" in the top crust.

Relaxed & Calm

Those of you who know me well know I haven't been a big Obama fan......I saw this picture today and couldn't help but start to like Michelle. In all the hoopla going on in her life look how relaxed and calm she is next to her man. This is something I need to start focusing on again. I remember the trips to San Diego to visit Art and this is exactly how I felt once I arrived.

North Dakota!

This is the reason I have decided not to move back to North Dakota!

a winter poem- unknown
its winter in north dakota
and the gentle breezes blow
seventy miles an hour
at thirty five below

oh how i love north dakota
when the snows up to your butt
you take a breath of winter
and your nose gets frozen shut

yes the weather here is wonderful
so i guess i'll hang around
i could never leave north dakota
i'm frozen to the ground!!!!!

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood

Won't you be my neighbor?
Please won't you be my neighbor?

I thought I would throw a little Mr. Roger's in there since we had a 70 degree day!!!! AND the rest of the week will be 70 degrees too!!!!!!!!! This is ONE great reason to live in California!!!!!!

I was so happy to go out tonight in my short sleeves shopping. I bought a beautiful cabinet for my DH to put together.

I came home opened my mail box and right there is a JURY SUMMONS. I screamed NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I don't have time for jury duty. I have a GREAT idea. Why doesn't the state make the people that are receiving unemployment do a week of jury duty? I bet people would get a job.

Well now my DH is putting together our new cabinet!


I can't wait for it to be dont!!! Almost there!!!!
