Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think my favorite fruit pie is seasonal: cherry, raspberry, blueberry, apple, pumpkin.

I still have a huge bowl of homemade butter cream icing in my fridge. I should probably bake something to put that on instead of eating it by the tablespoon.

I'm not so sure of that, really.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hooray for culling!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think my favorite fruit pie is seasonal: cherry, raspberry, blueberry, apple, pumpkin.

I'm weird about fruit in a baked concoction. I'd rather have apple crisp than pie, berry cobbler than pie, and just plain old cherries out of a bowl than pie.

But pumpkin pie is KING.

I haven't baked an apple crisp yet! I need to rectify that situation.

I baked my first Apple crisp of the season last night for Canadian Thanksgiving!

I guess I'll make an apple crisp on Friday. I wish I had some oatmeal. Hmm.

Happy belated Thanksgiving, Canada!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The bit where the pastry meets the fruit is the best bit for me. I dunno, the berry pies don't appeal to me much, other than the blueberries. Pumpkin pie I only really like the pastry with a sheen of pumpkin on. Kind of a waste. I should see what CI has to say on the topic.

If I could eat gluten, I would have already bought ALL of the pumpkin-flavored products TJs is carrying. And we would be bankrupt. Pumpkin is a harsh mistress.

But SO TASTY.

I love pumpkin pie, and sugar cream pie, but if you're talking fruit, blueberry is awesome. And rhubarb is up there too.

Tomorrow the Jay Z will not be an issue because I will have to get up and go work somewhere--today was a "work from hotel" day (where so far I've gotten very little done, thanks to this headache, but better today than tomorrow).

I don't use oatmeal in my apple crisp!
