Mom’s Apple Pie

{what next} has released some autumn goodness for the September round of Collabor88. In addition to a pumpkin-filled wheelbarrow (which I haven’t gotten around to showing you yet), you can find this cookbook and holder, along with two perfectly baked pies. When I saw the apple version, it brought a smile to my face. It reminded me so much of the ones my Mom used to make; she even used the lattice top crust.

The only difference is that Mom didn’t use a recipe, yet her apple pie always turned out perfectly. I think that’s because her main ingredient was love.

I haven’t made one in quite some time, but I, too, follow Mom’s rough rules for pie-making: adjust the sugar, depending on the sweetness of the apples, add a bit of flour to the sugar mixture to thicken the juice and keep the crust from getting soggy, make sure you add cinnamon to taste. I never quite got the hang of making the lattice as pretty as Mom did, but I’m pretty sure she passed along her knack for turning a few autumn apples into a delicious delight, guaranteed to warm your tummy and your heart.

All that’s missing is a scoop of ice cream…and Mom’s smile.

Apple May Designs is releasing a new jacket at the main store for men. Yes, that’s right – I’m wearing a men’s jacket (with lavish application of alphas). Did you think I was going to get my girly clothes dirty at work? The jacket comes in both TMP and standard fitted mesh sizes. I’m wearing the small. So no need to confine your fashion to the ladies’ section!

My boots, on the other hand, are women’s boots. I wasn’t in the mood to put on six pairs of socks to make a men’s pair fit 😉 They are from fri.day for Collabor88 this month. These are the boots I’ve been needing (yes, needing!) so I was thrilled to find them.

Time to start to work…remind me never to complain about a tough day at the office again!
