Announcements

1. Marshall’s is an underutilized shoe resource. I’ve been to this store twice in the past two days buying quality shoes at great prices! I love it!

2. L’Oreal Sublime Glow in Fair is a wonderful sunless tanning lotion. It’s designed like many sunless tanning lotions, the color builds slowly over time. The sunless smell is very mild, it dries quickly enough to use in the mornings after your shower. The color is very nice, there is no orange tint, and it’s just enough to break the winter white pallor of my skin. I would recommend this product to a friend.

3. It’s opening weekend for the farmer’s market downtown. I’m very excited!

4. I’m going to be perfecting a Lemon Ice-Box Pie recipe this weekend. Look for the recipe soon.

That is all.

Aunt Beck's Apple Pie

1 unbaked deep dish pie shell
3 tart apples
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp. cinnamon

Peel apples, and slice in small pieces. In a bowl mix apples with 1 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Put in pie shell, cut 1/2 stick of butter into small pieces. Place on top of apple mixture. Mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Spread over apple mixture, cut 1/2 stick of butter into slices. Place over flour mixture, this will form the crust for the pie. Cook for 45 minutes to an hour at 350 degrees. Allow pie to sit for about 30 minutes before slicing.

Editor's Notes
1. I used Granny Smith apples
2. Necessary to use a deep dish pie plate
3. Place a cookie sheet under pie while baking to catch liquid.

Enjoy!
