Blogs

WAY
too much
fun
and
if

an addictive personality

watch out, baby!
I mean,
if you are in
a
style mode,
you can check out what
fashionistas
Judy and Jane Aldridge
are sporting
A mood
to
push furniture around?
or
to paint
a wall
a new color?
love
love
love
and
and about
100
others

Lifestyle blogs?
love 'em
and about
100
others
Art blogs! Love 'em!
Exercise and healthy living blogs?
don't love 'em, but
always looking
for a little help
And then
FOOD BLOGS
Yes!
Food blogs
are the
answer
to every
ache or pain
bad mood
happy mood
rainy day
sunny day
...well,
Food Blogs
are
simply
THE
ANSWER!
I follow too many...
and
about
500
others..
but my fave,
hmmmm
well,
TODAY
my fave is

It
changes
every day..
a new recipe
or
travel adventure,
new restaurant
or
anecdote
about
his life in Paris
..
it is
ALWAYS
a delightful read.
I often
copy his
recipes
and
try them.
ALWAYS
D- lish!!!
I copied
his
FRENCH APPLE CAKE

I suggest
you do the same?
ho la la

4 large apples
( I used local Sea Canyon apples)

3/4 c. whole wheat pastry flour (my change from his recipe)
3/4 tsp. baking powder
pinch salt mix together

3/4 c. sugar and 2 eggs whisk together until frothy and foamy

Add 3 TBS. rum (I used Stroh rum from Austria)
to the egg mixture and 1/2 tsp vanilla

melt 1/2 cup butter in microwave

Here goes:
Whisk 1/2 flour mixture into the egg mixture
and stir in 1/2 of the melted butter.
Stir in the
remaining flour and the rest of the butter.
Gently fold in the apple chunks until the are all incorporated.
Pour in a well buttered spring form pan
IMG_0052
and bake about
50 - 60 minutes

I
sprinkled
a bit 'o sugar
and freshly grated nutmeg
over the top
just for fun
evidently,
that
makes the
cake
not so
French
(but the nutmeg makes the kitchen smell so heavenly)

If this confused
you
tremendously
here
is
the recipe
We will
be serving
in on
Thanksgiving morning
at
COME ON BY!
