Cake and pie

The first thing I have done in my 33rd year (today, as of midnight, being my 32nd birthday :-) is... bake an apple pie. My first pie. (Did I mention we went apple picking on Sunday? My first time for that too.)

The tradeoff for the homemade pie was a bakery cake, but if I was going to do at least one of them myself, I felt like doing the pie. Given the peck of apples on my kitchen table and so on.

The pie is rather lumpy and messy and possibly either over- or under-baked, I can't tell. But it smells good, and it is two additional things: (a) pareve and (b) done.

The second thing I did in my 33rd year was a whole sinkload of dishes. [livejournal.com profile] ablock was a big help with all these things.

And now, *clunk*. (Think I'm getting up for 6:30am Hoshanah Rabbah services tomorrow morning? Um, sadly, no.)

Moadim l'simcha... chagim u'zmanim l'ugah!

Happy birthday and happy pie!

FYI, apple pie is kinda one of my specialties (see userpic), so if you ever want to get together and bake, I can share my secrets. :)

Interesting! (A lattice-top apple pie? wow!) Now that I've done it once poorly, it would be really cool to try it again in the company of an expert.

Then, too, I'm sure my mom will offer me a tutorial when I'm in CA for Thanksgiving :-)

Happy Birthday!

I hope it's a wonderful year for you, filled with pie, already-washed dishes, and sleep :-) (plus a whole lot of happiness and laughter and learning)

Yom huledet sameach! I never realized you were younger than Kate.

And it's hard to screw up apple pie. So long as you cut the apples in reasonable pieces, if the crust is done, the pie is done. Congrats on your first. I think I'll make one tonight too, for our last dinner in the sukkah.

Yeah, it took me some months to learn that Kate was older than me, in fact :-)

and, thanks! I'm sure you're right about the crust.

Well, I'm *turning* 32, which is why it's my 33rd year.
-- Or 100000, or, as I was advised on Monday, 20 (in hex).

Stampy says it too. He is saying it so much he can't shut up. He must be really happy for you!

Miss you, btw -- we were thinking of you the other night, having sukkah dinner at the [livejournal.com profile] sanpakus'.
