Pie!

Pie before

I can't believe it's been almost one year since I last made apple pie. I use a sweet ginger crust, which is very easy to work with (you can't overmix it - very useful for creating lattice because you can re-roll it as many times as you need).

Pie after!

Still Growing

I just popped into the backyard to toss a mushy pumpkin into the compost bin when I discovered our broccoli is still growing! Exciting - especially considering that I'm in NY and it snowed at the end of October...

This reminds me to spread the word about Winter Sun Farms winter CSA. I just joined for the second year, because I loved it so much last season - fresh frozen local produce all winter, and fresh eggs too! Check out their website to see if they are in your area.
