So here's what happened.
I figured I should bake something to warm up my apartment. I had that weird phillo dough crap in my freezer (I forget why) and some apples.
I took out the dough, let it thaw for a bit while getting laundry done.
SO I chopped up the apples, squeezed some lemon on them, spinkled in brown sugar and cinnamon, a bit of vanilla, and a pinch of nutmeg.
Then I went to unroll the phillo dough stuff, and it was loaded with sheets of paper which I kept peeling off and throwing away. Then I realized that was the actual dough.
So I folded the paperdough into oragami tart shapes, and went to stuff it in cupcake tins...and realized the tins were rusty.
So I put the paper cupcake thingies in the tins, they squished the oragamidough into them the best I could, filled with the apple mixture, put a quarter of a pat of butter on each, and now I'm sitting here hoping something edible, if not disasterous, comes out of the oven in about a half hour.
If nothing else, your apartment is going to smell awesome.

This is something I could easily see happening to me. But I laughed anyway!
I have apple tart filling surrounded by papier mache. It's sort of tasty.
The thing to do with phyllo is to separate the sheets (3-4 to a layer) and brush butter between the layers. Not the healthiest crust in the world, but mmmmmmmmmmm.
It still sounds awfully yummy to me, Allyson, just for the apple mixture alone. Damn, now I'm craving apple crumble.
ION, I am at work and have spent valuable company time ordering a new purse.

It's in sage green, if the link defaults to a different color. These bags are not very hip nor styling, but they are long-lasting, way easy to organize (due to the 80 bazillion different pockets they have on the inside), and you can throw them in the washer when they get dirty.
That's a really cool bag, Robin. I'd like my sugar daddy to buy me one in leather.
So if anyone sees a likely looking sugar daddy, could you send him that link?
That's my everyday purse, but in purple. Not leather.
It's really thoughtfully designed. I love that there are so many different-sized pockets and they are set so stuff doesn't fall out of them, even if you are the kind of person who tends to toss your purse around in a careless manner. Not that I would do such a thing, no way.
