Apple Butter?
I decided to pull a "Betty Crocker" and do something with the apples I picked on Monday. The apples alone are really tasty but there are alot of them and there is no way I can eat all I picked before they go bad. So I made Apple Butter from a recipe I got from the orchard from whence I picked apples last year. It took 9 hours in a slow cooker. It tastes scrumptious. It does not look like the apple butter you buy in the store; pureed and thin as a spread. My friend Jim says it's not Apple Butter then. I suggested that it is, perhaps, Apple Chutney. To which he replied, "Or Apple Chutter." He then said something I didn't hear. And then I was inspired. It's not Butter, Chutney or Chutter. It's "Apple Buttney!" which he actually said when I didn't hear him. So I made my first batch, ever, (and perhaps the first batch of anybody ever) of Apple Buttney. And now, we are off for Sunday afternoon cocktails at Posh where I hope to chat with Derrick the Dressmaking Bartender about my Bridesmaid Dress for the Big Fat Gay Wedding. Disclaimer: Fat in no way implies the size of the grooms.

The Apple Buttney sounds like fun. Fall seems to bring out the desire to cook in people. In the past week and a half, Jonathan and I have made fresh dinner rolls, mini Bundt lemon pound cakes, fresh corn muffins, and Ghirardelli chocolate cookies. (When I say "fresh", I mean from scratch--no mixes involved.) I did not even start learning how to cook until I was about 21, and I am still amazed eleven years later at how much better things can taste when made from scratch than when purchased from a store.
