Over-due update! Lots of pics.
Starting off with some pics of desert from thanksgiving. I've been making apple pie for three years now. I still suck at it! haha, the bottom crust is always soggy. I think maybe it's too much liquid or something... I will figure it out one day.
The first year I started making pies I even tried to make my own crust. It was okay, but using Pillsbury frozen pie crust and rolling it out is good enough. I'm no Martha. Anyhow, this weaving technique is pretty easy. I found out how to do it online. The crust technique took me forever to track down. You just pinch it with your thumb and the knuckle of your pointing finger.
Persimmon Torte
I whipped this up with the extra pie crust. Couldn't bare to throw it away. I managed to make two of these and one apple torte. I had no idea what I was doing, but my dad really liked it! It's really small btw, fits in your hand.
Apple Torte
Just slice up apples, throw whatever you threw in your pie mix, and then throw it in the oven...
Dad's man-haul from Black Friday. We woke up at 3am to get to Sears. We have never done that before! It was fun! We hit 5 stores that morning. Sears, Target, Wal-mart, Tuesday Morning, Home Depot.
First time at a Buddhist Temple in the USA. They had lots of cool statues. The family went to honor my grandma.
Saved the silly photo for last. Made the sister do a stupid pose. Are they still selling this stuff? Domo is so cute!! I love him(it)!
Question!
To view the pics larger, there is a little arrow that pops up in the left corner of each photo. Does anyone actually click on this? Does anyone notice it?
Mmmm looks delicious! Lol @ "man haul" haha XD I never notice the arrow before, now that you mention it, I'm using it XD
ReplyDeletethe pie looks delicious! I love apple pies. You should toss some over here ;]
ReplyDeleteI'm a buddhist! hmmmz... I've never seen that many status of those Gods... or is that one God? O_O I'm too confused. lol. So I guess you were amuse by going to the temple the first time? haha.
oh gosh your pies look so good !
ReplyDeletei've only attempted at making apple pie and i cannot for the life of me do the whole weaving thing ! i shall try it again some time =)
& i too have not noticed the arrow until now !
those pies look great! you can't suck.. because i can't even make unbaked oreo balls correctly. hahaha! ;P and re: the pics, i didn't know you could enlarge it with the arrows until you mentioned it.
ReplyDeletere: the tablet - i was able to briefly try it out yesterday and i love it! i got the touch and pen one so it has no mouse... i had the option of getting the one with the mouse but i personally didn't see the use of it! haha! ;P
ooooh i never noticed the arrow before until you mentioned it... but then again, this is the first time im on your blog lol. followed you back <3
ReplyDelete... such a cool feature though!!
being the foodie that i am... after you mentioned the arrow thing, i scrolled up to the pie pics andd clicked on it to make it bigger lol
i can't bake AT ALL. your pies look awesome!
<3
hey steph! the pen and touch is a win win for you cus you can use it to draw AND navigate without a mouse! the pad basically acts like a laptop touch pad... the pen does take a bit of getting used to when it comes to navigating though... all in all good product! :)
ReplyDeletepies & tortes are looking delicious! thanks for sharing
