Dedicated to Camille (of "327market" fame) and inspired by Alton Brown and Rachel Ray (pre-Oprah), this is a journal of meal-making madness from simple home-cooked dinners to quick fixes or even special party treats. I also include meals outside my kitchen, too. Sometimes a recipe is followed; other times it's all made up from ingredients scoured from the kitchen. My wish is that you enjoy reading about my cooking as much as I enjoy making it.

Homemade Applesauce
Mmmm. The yummiest thing about apple season besides eating the fresh apples themselves is turning the leftowvers into applesauce. I did just that tonight.
First I cut Gala apples (about 15 small ones) from Gopher Glen Apple Farm in See Canyon, San Luis Obispo, California into quarters and cut out the seeds. Then I peeled them. I did this against the overseeing eye of my mother who wondered why I didn't peel them first. I just thought I'd try a different way. Besides I had just seen Martha peel the apples after they were cut.
After the peeled apples, I cut them into small inch-size chunks. Water was added up to an inch and then the apple cubes were boiled til nice and soft. I chose to add about a cup of sugar and some cinnamon and nutmeg. This was mashed until applesauce consistency.
Let cool and enjoy a bowful!
