How Do You Like Them Apples?

Took the day off from work today to go pick apples with the family. We are now up to our elbows in apples (and some peaches, too) and I've been threatening take a whack at making my first apple pie. I'm a little apprehensive since pie is one dessert I have never attempted, but my latest copy of Cook's Illustrated did come with a recipe, so.... maybe. Stay tuned.

And yes, it probably wasn't wise for us to eat apples - unwashed apples - straight off the tree, but something about picking them yourself makes them seem more healthy/less pesticide-y.

I'm really going to start calling the 3 y/o "Wilson". Thats so funny they way you hide his face.

Heh -- that's funny.

Good luck with that pie if the urge finally overtakes you. The only pies I ever knew how to make were the kind you get at a pizza shop -- which I guess isn't a bad skill to have...
