Good Evening,
Despite only 6 hours of sleep, I had productive day at the high school and left feeling content. I met with a few of the guidance counselors about my newly-assigned cases and made phone calls to parents. I’m just so pleased to be working at such an awesome place with welcoming, friendly faces:)
…apple, white cheddar, and jam sandwich with a side of yogurt + oatmeal squares and, obviously, an apple.
It was a hot one in Boston, so I soaked up one of the final days of summer on the bleachers of Jon’s soccer practice; I just zoned out for a while until I received some exciting text messages about college friends potentially visiting for my birthday festivities and got sooo excited for October!!
I can’t tell you how happy I was to come straight home after babysitting and relax this evening. But before relaxation, I sliced six apples for one of my favorite childhood dishes: stewed apples. Something about these plus the fall reminds me of watching Full House and waiting for dinner to cook when I was little.
I cooked the apples down with water and added a lot of cinnamon and a little brown sugar at the end.
Served with Annie’s mac + cheese with peas.
All that was missing was an episode of Full House! I’ll have to settle for House Hunters on Hulu. Night!

I have never tried stewed apples. Now I have to!

September 23, 2010 at 1:06 pmI tried putting granny smith apples on a turkey sandwich a few times and it was delish!
I’m going apple picking for the first time next weekend, I can’t wait! I have a feeling i’ll be eating apples the rest of the winter. I may just have to try your apple stew to use some up =)

September 23, 2010 at 4:43 pmStewed apples=YUM! And I always overlook apple-and-cheese sandwiches, but hopefully I’ll remember next time I have a few apples lying around.
P.S. Loved Full House! Them were the days.
