The Strangest Party
November 3, 2006 | permalink
I love the change of the seasons. I don't think that I would be completely content in a place without them, though I am willing to sip cocktails in some tropical place for a while to see if this were really true or not. Because I'm scientific like that, willing to endure hardship in the interest of fact finding. But I digress...
This time of year, late autumn into winter, is my favorite. The crispness of the air and the cool temperatures are invigorating, and seem to make everything smell and taste better. The gourds and apples are at their best, perfect for cooking with, and everyone seems rosy-cheeked as they bustle about. It just makes me happy.

Ah, I enjoy it too, and it leads to SNOW! :)
So what are you cooking with apples because I have many & I need to figure something out soon!
I *love* apples...
You can make Apple Pie, of course, though I don't usually make that unless I am bringing it somewhere- it's a bit much to make for just myself. Baked Apples are quick, easy, and delicious... and so is the Irish Apple Cake that I discovered in a cookbook I bought in Ireland. And Apple Sauce is quick and easy, and easy to make in big batches and can for later.
I also like to use apples in recipes with other foods- Apples and Sausage, Apple and Walnut Salad, Apple Pancakes...
roasted chicken and roasted pork are both good cooked with apples. think froofroo version of apple sauce with pork chops.
