...which means apples. I like apples, I do. Fuji (probably what I eat most often), Granny Smiths, Mcintosh, Rome, Gala, Golden Delicious, etc. Nearly all of which went into the apple pie baked last weekend, for an October-fest (not really Oktoberfest, since it was more a get-together for autumn/pies/apples/pumpkins than it was for beer and wurst-- though... there was lederhosen).
Truth be told, I've never like apple pies. Guess I'm a fruit purist and think they taste best raw. Mmm, raw apples. Raw sliced apples with sprinkled cinnamon. Mmm. Baked fruit always just seems too mushy. However, I DID like the homemade pie from last weekend, so maybe it's like how I am with cats-- I don't really like cats, but I like MY cats.
Also, I've been looking through food blogs today and these Apple Walnut Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes look aweeesome and is possibly something I have to try sometime.

We carved a pumpkin, which was awarded "most sustainable," since we took someone else's pumpkin and recycled/carved it after they lost interest in it (after they had already done the dirty work of gutting it and all!).
Aside from apples, I guess persimmons (blergh!) are also in season. The persimmon tree in my backyard is bearing a lot of fruit, baskets of the stuff. Growing up, we've always had persimmons around the house-- grocery-store bought, not home-grown-- but I've never liked the stuff.
Fun to draw though!

Maybe I'll convince Colin to make me those Apple Walnut Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes this weekend. Oh weekend, you seem so far away.
