Ahhhh pie!!

Nice

we're having lake trout with butter, lemon, and dill. twice roasted potatoes, and apple pie

I don't know what variety of apples they are, but one of them is the best tasting apple I've ever eaten

especially after a little dunk in lemon water

we managed to pick a few (I found long sticks with a fork at the end leaning against one of the trees) and pick some from the ground that the deer hadn't gotten to yet

That all sounds so good!

the fish is surprisingly affordable, too, since it's local. right out of lake Superior

we've got a fish market next town north, where we do most of our shopping

I think the potatoes are fairly local, too

this time next year, I'll be using my own herbs, too

very nice!

OOOOOH My daughter wants to bake her first apple pie this year. O_O

the recipe was super easy

it was on Allrecipes | Food, friends, and recipe inspiration I think by a guy named chef john

it was his recipe for the trout, too

but, being me, I tweaked both recipes >>

lolol

yeah. I can't follow a recipe

nothing is sacred. not even grandma's sugar cookies or fruitcake

awwwww yes thank you for sharing!!!

np. it's different because you actually make a syrup. and pour it through the holes in the lattice crust

I added a few squeezes of lemon juice because I like a little lemon with my apples, especially whatever kind these are

i also put about 5 times the recommended cinnamon because that's how I roll

oooooh I will take the extra cinnamon!!

This all looks so goood!!!!

it wasn't really much work either

worst thing was peeling and slicing apples

and running back out to the store when I ran out of butter

Oooh okay. Will make sure I have enough of everything and prepared to make the time necessary for this. I think we'll try this recipe next payday.

this means I have to make another frankenrecipe for the apple pie at Thanksgiving, lol

at this point I think I'm using parts of 4 or 5 different recipes

nice!

okay, this is going to depend on how juicy your apples are.

I would probably add a tablespoon or two of small tapioca pearls with the apples

or shake the apples with a few tablespoons of flour

ours came out a tiny bit soupy

although it made a great syrup on top of the ice cream

ooooh okay good to know. Although the syrup sounds nice for the ice cream

it was. and if you wait longer than we did, it might not be an issue. it wasn't hot, but it hadn't cooled several hours, either

this is more food than I've had in forever. I'm stuffed

my piece of trout, twice baked potato, and apple pie

okay this is a meal I need to make
