More fruits of labor with the apples from the orchard, fried apple pies. Btw, it's Kyle Carver Orchard in Cosby, Tenn. You can google for more info if you'd like to go there when you're in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. They have a very nice restaurant on the premises, and if you sit by a window you'll enjoy a bird's-eye-view of the orchard. 
I use a slightly stiff biscuit dough for the crusts, and talk about flaky...why, even Loretta Lynn would have been proud. ;) I'd offer you one, but they're all gone now. Sorry, maybe next time.
I don't recall ever havin' played with blocks as a child. I'd much rather have been makin' something...like soap, but stackin' is good. Plain, homemade soap for the Goodman.

Take care. :-)
Now, that's what I should have done with some of mine. I had a Roma-type heirloom this year. Still have a few green ones left on the vine, actually.

ReplyDeleteYum, Yum, everything looks so good. I have never tried sun dried tomatoes before, guess I will have to give them a try. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your prayers Tea! I've been a wreck all day. I wanted to go to her ,but I've go a bug of some kind and didn't want to mix mine with theirs.

ReplyDeleteI love fall as well and just finished stringing some cayenne peppers. We usually freeze them, but wanted to try some this way.
